The Great Escape: Mexico

D and I jetted to Cancun for 6 days of sun, sand, and all-inclusive bliss. This is seriously the way to go. Once you get to the resort, you honestly don't need to spend a dime!We were lucky (quick) enough to nab a little cabana a couple of the days. We read and read and napped and played in the ocean and read and napped. JUST what we needed!

D was on a mission to find some cigars while we were there. We searched everywhere - in shabby little shacks, a really odd mini mall and finally found the mecca. La Casa del Habano

I was loving the mojito's while D was in Heaven with his cigars.

D had talked about going to Chichen Itza since the day we booked our trip. He was so excited about it, but to be honest I had to do a little googling to figure out what this fuss was about (and, to make sure my bf didn't think I was totally clueless). Turns out its one of the 7 wonders of the world! These mayan ruins were amazing to see and the stories our tour guide told us were incredibly interesting since we were standing there where many years ago these actual events took place. I highly suggest a day trip if you're able. The excursion included a trip to a Cenote (sinkhole) that was the mayans only source of water. The mayans believed that when a person swam in the Cenote their soul was cleansed. It's worth a try!

From the top, just a big, scary, creepy hole in the ground. But, below...

Peaceful, chilly and not creepy at all!


Then, off to the ruins...
During the Equinox the sunlight creates an image of a snake on the temple. We weren't there for it, but I'm sure it would have been such a cool thing to experience.
This place was HUGE and it was an unbelievably hot day. But, I have to say, all that was totally worth the day trip to see this wonder!


Such a great trip!
