I was so amazed at how thick these ropes are, they'd have to be to anchor this massive ship to the port!
Even at the end of the week, I couldn't get over how huge the ship was!
Carnival Valor ported in Cozumel, Mexico!
After porting in Cozumel, we took a taxi ride to the ferry and rode over to mainland Mexico, Playa del Carmen! Our guide met us there and took us for a 30 min van ride to the ruins of Tulum!
It was windy when we came in, but I've heard this beach is beautiful!
I didn't buy any medications, but it was hilarious to look at what they were selling! Everything!
Hey! My favorite part of the picture is the random dog behind me with his tongue out! :)
The entrance to the ruins of Tulum! Beautiful!
We could see handprints on the top of this ruin, it was kind of cool to try and think what the mayans would've been doing all those years ago here! I hope enjoying the warm weather and beautiful water!
This ruin is a corner of the building from the picture above. Can you see the face? On the other corner of the building, was the same face with the eyes closed! I wish I was paying attention to what it meant, oh well! Amazing!
Our guide, who is a Stake President of a singles stake in Cancun, Mexico. He was telling us a bit about the mayan culture and how they lived, yet a iguana attended the lecture and stole the attention! He was so fun to watch and take pictures of, naturally!
Yup, pretty cool, huh! They were everywhere!
I wish I had video of this moment, because just after I snapped this photo, the iguana slithered between the girl and Cameron, who jumped so high! Oh man, it was great!
I'm so glad they decided to build their temple and other buildings near this body of water. Wow, so beautiful!
This area of sand looks out into the ocean and a natural break in the waves. It's amazing that the waves break in the spot they do, allowing the mayans to steer their canoes back through the water to land with no trouble!
