Ocean View

Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

The ocean view at the Ancient Site of Tulum is awesome!  Tulum is the site of a Pre-Columbian Maya walled city serving as a major port for Coba. The ruins are situated along the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea.  It is a very beautiful and impressive area!

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

IMG_1761a

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!
