Yes, there were two Iguanas on the beach as I walked along.  I am so glad I didn’t step on them!  Notice the one in the foreground, he wasn’t happy that I came along!

Beautiful Creations

I woke-up early and looked out our hotel room window to see how the night was going and to my delight, the sun was just rising over the horizon.  I grabbed my camera and took this photo.  As I look at it, it gives me reverence to Heavenly Father and my Savior, Jesus Christ for the beautiful creations that were made for us!

Voladores de Papantla Flyers

Xcaret, Mexico

We watched this very ancient ceremonial ritual.  It is believed it began about 450 years ago when there was a severe drought in the land and the ritual was created to appease the Gods and apparently it worked.  The ritual consists of dancers climbing a 30 meter (98 1/2 foot) pole from which four of the five participants then launch themselves tied with ropes to descend to the ground. The fifth remains on top of the pole, dancing and playing a flute and drum.  It was very interesting and oh, there was no net!

Delicate

Xcaret, Mexico

I really enjoy watching Jellyfish, they are so delicate as they move slowly along. We saw some at Xcaret and I spent a lot of time watching them. They are found in all oceans, way down deep or on the surface. What beautiful creatures!
