Cozumel, Mexico

Tulum #1We took a 45 minute ferry ride to Playa del Carmen and then got on a bus for an hour to get to the Mayan ruins of Tulum. The tour was nice but I guess I had heard enough about the Mayans at this point. I would have loved to explore the ruins more but it was incredibly crowded and pretty hot. It was beautiful though and we got to swim in gorgeous although very strong wavy water. We had delicious fish tacos for lunch - hunger being the best condiment. I had Van get off the bus at the last minute to buy me a wooden red devil carving - very unique item I hadn't seen at any other store - and I only had $15 to spend so he got the guy down from $25. Then we had to do the bus and ferry back so it was a long day. We then walked through the shops at Cozumel a bit and got some food and drinks.
