Dzibilchaltun

Our first stop on the cruise was at the place written above. It's mayan and I couldn't pronounce it even after a bunch of attempts sooo yeah. Dzibilchaltun is an ancient mayan city near Progresso, Mexico. We got to walk around and admired all of the old buildings...
Lots of ancient rock
I'm always amazed that people were able to make things like this without big machines to help them
There's a cenote which is a fresh water hole. It just goes down and down and apparently a lot of the cenotes link together through underwater tunnels.
Dan of course went swimming and he liked it!
There aren't many drawings still visible on the buildings but there were a couple in a little area we could walk into
We climbed to the top of the pyramid-y building

The daddio and Dan
the parentals--tender times!
me and my daddio.

It was fun to walk around and see all of the ruins. The weather ended up being nicer but still overcast. The next day though was perfect!
