Locked Out

IMG_6474a

Cancun, Mexico

After going for my morning walk on the beach, I came back to our room, but I was locked out, for some reason my key wouldn’t work.  Craig was at breakfast, so I decided to just sit down, put my feet up and RELAX!

Sea Turtle Eggs

As I was out walking along the beach I saw a man digging in the sand. He was finding Sea Turtle Eggs and collecting them. They are then put into a protected area where they grow and develop for two months. Once they hatch they are taken out of the sand and at night they are put into the Caribbean Sea. Thousands of Sea Turtles have been saved by doing this, otherwise, the little Turtles are eaten by Seagulls before they make it to the sea. It is pretty awesome!!

Looking Out To Sea

It was raining hard when we got to Tulum, even so it was gorgeous! Tulum is a Mayan village that sits right on the coastline. From here we looked out to sea.

The Caribbean Sea

I was so moved by Tulum, I felt a special spirit there and this was the perfect place to put my feet up and RELAX as I looked out at the Caribbean Sea.  A very beautiful spot!

Mayan Temple

Tulum, Mexico

As I walked thru Tulum I felt like I had walked back into The Book of Mormon times.  Tulum was one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Mayan, between the 13th and 15th centuries.  This is their Temple which is the highest point in Tulum and looks out over the Caribbean Sea.  It is a very picturesque spot.  This particular day it was raining very hard.

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!
