So long sweet Mexico...

ah.. the Carribean...Playa del Carmen.
The Mexican Byron Bay, as Soon as our packs were in our rooms.. the whole Gang of us headed straight to throw our Clammy travel Bodies into the Carribean Sea. It was so Warm and felt like silk.











We had Travelled the Whole Day from the Yacutan to get here.. with a Stop at the Chitchen itza Ruins, where most of us payed for a guide and Cruised through learning more about the Ancient Mayan Civilisations.. for me this was the First time I had bothered with the Guide.. and it was very worth it. I was very happy to learn that my birthday falls on a very Important day in the Mayan Calendar... Mayan equinox... a time that indicates for Harvesting.. when the sun alines perfectly with a beautiful central Pyramid and forms the Shadow of a snake all the way from the top to the bottom.

In the mid day Sticky Mexican heat, Ana maria and I still had the previous evenings Salsa lesson on our minds and decided to Dance it out in the car park of the Chitchen itza ruins.. attracting quite an amount of attention Including some locals videoing us. the best part was when Ana maria whent off to Do a big goofy aerobics oz style grapevine ans smacked her hand straight to the face of an american tourist and started apologising in evrey language she new how too while the 16 others of us laughed until we cried.

After our long swim In the Carribean Sea, we all ventured back to the hotel and dolled ourselves up for the last supper.

Dinner was great, right on the beach.. with Live drumming and fire dancing and massive cocktails.

I was trying to make myself excited to be getting on a plane to Antigua the next day, but the truth is, I was really sad about leaving Mexico, and all of my new Friends.

Ill see you again Mexico.
And more of you.
