Cancun, Mexico

So our last adventure was in Cancun Mexico. We decide to take a short trip there and enjoy the sun and the beach for a few days. October is off season so we got at good deal, plus there was no one there. I fell in love with Cancun, the water is a deed turquoise blue and the sand is so fine. We loved just hanging out at the hotel pool and the beach, but my favorite part was going to see the Mexican ruins in Chichen Itza. We took a tour bus there. The trip was over 3 hours, but luckily my girls were pretty good for the most part. It always amazes me to see something so old that was a piece of history. People lived there hundreds of years ago and their life styles were very different from ours. Today there are many villages around the peninsula the Yucatan with direct descends of the Mayans. They still speak their original dialect but they also know Spanish. It was interesting to see how they live today and I also got to learn a few words in their language (Mayans), which I don't remember anymore. We also went to the "Isla de las mujeres", "island of the women". I don't know exactly why was call that but it was nice there. We took had to that a ferry to get there and we went to this special aquarium that rescues sea turtles that are endangered. Anyway Leah really loved plying with the baby turtles, it was awesome!
