Biker, the boys and I decided to make a little trip to Mexico to celebrate both boys’ college graduations this year … and my and Biker’s “raise.”  🙂

We arrived in Playa del Carmen Thursday afternoon and commenced with our usual tradition of hitting every bar once before the first day is over. You know, to properly say hello to the resort.

Today, we boarded a big ole bus and went to Chichenitza. It was a long day, but a really cool place that none of us had ever seen. We learned:

• The name means “at the mouth of the warlock’s water well”
• It’s one of the new seven wonders of the world
• It was a major civilization focal point from 600-1200 AD
• There are still about 5 million Mayan people in the world (they didn’t mysteriously  ‘disappear’ as popular lore suggests)
• They played a ball game called ulama. Look it up; it’s insanely difficult

We’re tired. We’re sunburned. We’re going to bed.
