ON OUR WAY TO CHICHEN ITZA
The following photos were taken through the window of the bus on our way to Chichén Itzá!
The side of Mexico you hear about, but until you see it with your own eyes.......it's hard to believe. The amazing part to me was even with their living conditions most everyone we seen was clean & well dressed.......I would think the opposite!!! And on many of the little shacks/huts there were satellite dishes, and most had cells phones......another strange thing to me! I would have thought if they never had a basic household furniture they wouldn't have satellite & cell phones!
Another thing that was everywhere are these cinder blocks(concrete), stacks all over the place. In towns, in the country, by houses, even on the sides of the road......???
to my understanding(from Danica)this is the plant used to my TEQUILLA!!!
The litter in Mexico is unreal......it's everywhere(except on the resorts)!
These dogs are everywhere........I never did figure out if they have an actual home, or they just wander from here to there?
Not sure what this was about!

OUR SHOPPING TRIP to Playa del Carmen!
Donna posing for a picture at Senor Frogs.......this one if for LACINTHA!!! This was so funny.....I asked these two waiters if I could take a picture with them..........so they put there arms around me ready for the picture. My aunt was taking the picture and it would take so she was saying, "it won't work", and the Mexicans were saying, "take your time senorita, take your time"...........and I was thinking "HURRY UP, HURRY UP"!! Oh well it was worth the chuckle!
This one is for you Brett(taken at Senor Frogs)!!!

CHITZEN ITZA-on of the 7 wonders of the world!
91 steps to the top!!! There is a story to these steps, they were built very narrow and people had to walk up criss cross/side to side. They are to narrow for the length of a foot to climb like you do on normal steps.
On one of our stops along the way, they took a picture of us. Then on the way back they try and sell you this bottle of Tequilla with your picture on it........we didn't purchase, but took a picture of it!

I just love this picture(above), except for the fact it is blurry(I could just cry)! I may have to try and do some photoshop magic on it.......not sure if it will make much of a difference, but even a little would help!!!
There were coolers EVERYWHERE!
another familiar site!
Coke EVERYWHERE!!!!
1.5 litres
