Day Six

Today we went to Tulum to take a tour and check out the ruins.  It was actually quite interesting.  We asked for a Mormon guide and he did a really good job.  His name was Limhi and he gave each of the kids a necklace with the depiction of the tree of life on it - one to Billy for saying the first article of faith and one to each of the others cause, well, they really wanted one.  It was really hot that day but very beautiful.

The Tree of Life

Our family

Limhi borrowed a cigarette from someone to show us how they made different colors with the flowers...

...and then fed the flower to this guy

 

 

The Temple - kind of reminds me of the Alberta temple

That night we ate at the Mexican restaurant and then they had a Caribbean show in the theater.

I may add more pictures later but for now I need to move on or I'll get so far behind

 

 

 

Time to finish our Mexico Trip

So I got to day four and had a bit of a lag so I decided today was the day I was going to finish it off.  I could go out in the -23 (feels like -31) weather shopping for some necessities, but I'd much rather look at my Mexico pictures.  They make me feel warmer.  The necessities can wait.

On the Wednesday, we just hung around the resort as Amy was still recovering from not feeling very well.  But by mid afternoon, she was fine and so we went out to eat and then the show that night at the hotel was an Elvis impersonator.  He was actually pretty good but I didn't care for his act between numbers considering there were children in the audience.
