Ok everyone...first of all I just want to apologize for how bad of a blogger I am. I know there are no excuses, so I am very sorry for not keeping all of you updated fully. I have been back from Spring Break for over a week now, and am just now blogging about it. THATS how bad of a blogger I am!
Speaking of Spring Break...all I can really say about it is that it was easily the best vacation I have EVER been on in my entire LIFE! It was a little pricey, yes, but the amount of things I was able to do, and the things I was able to see and experience made it completely worth it! Plus, I had saved and budgeted for this trip, and am SO glad to have had the opportunity to go on it!
We left Puebla at about 5:30am on Saturday morning to head to Chiappas. We arrived at our first destination at about 1:30 pm and went on a boat ride through an INCREDIBLE canyon. The scenery was astounding and literally breath taking. And to realize that God created what we were riding through was unbelievably surreal.
We then went to look at some Myan Ruins in Palenque the next day. I don't think I have ever experienced heat like that. There are not words to describe how hot it was. However, the ruins were incredible, and to know that a civilization used to live there made it all the more fascinating!
Our next stop was Belize. This was easily the worst stop on the trip. We literally spent about 20 minutes in the country of Belize, and then booked it back to Mexico. It is a long story that I would be glad to share when I get back!
Finally, we arrived at Playa Del Carmen. I honestly didn't even know it was possible for a beach to be so blue and beautiful! We stayed in a condo right on the beach and it was INCREDIBLE! We basically did all of the beachy things that people do when they go to the beach and had a blast doing it. We ate a lot of great seafood, swam in the beach and pool, etc.
While at Playa Del Carmen, we went to a place called Xel-Ha where we got to snorkel in a natural lagoon like place where the Myans believed the gods created water. We also got to eat all day at their amazing all you can eat buffets! Sometimes...life is just rough! UGH!
On the way back to Puebla, we stopped by a place called Chichen Itza to look at more Myan Ruins. Apparently, if you look at certain "wonders of the world" lists, Chichen Itza is actually listed. So, I have officially seen a world wonder!!!
Here are some pictures that I took from the trip. Unfortunately, this website would only let me put a few pictures on here...so Ill make another post completely devoted to more pictures so you guys can see them!
This is the view from the inside of our condo to the porch. Look how beautiful the ocean is!
