Costa Maya
Sorry to leave you hanging...I haven't quite got the mojo to do a real post. Here are some of the photos from Costa Maya. We took a tour to the Chaccoben Mayan Ruins about an hour ( on a slow road) from Costa Maya. Costa Maya is one of those places that didn't even have electricity until 9 years ago when a cruise port was carved out of the land. There is a faux village type shopping area and not much else. We had a wonderful guide on the bus who explained a lot about the Mayans and the Mayan lands; she really made the trip go by in a flash. Very poor countryside, but the ruins, which were uncovered in the mid to late 90s were fascinating.

A teensy tiny orchid. Apparently orchid flowering season had finished.

ReplyDeleteDid you see iguanas at the ruins? We saw loads of them sunning themselves.....suuuun:)
Happy to see pics (Bob's?) of your trip....keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteTarantulas would be a bit unnerving - but to see the wonders of the world we have to take the scary with the beauty, right?
Hope Spring is appearing in your neck of the woods Janet.

Wow! I had no idea orchids were that small. And those tarantulas really gave me the willies. What an incredible trip that must have been Janet.
