Every morning before we went to breakfast, we went to the top deck of the ship and took pictures of the port. So for each post the first picture you see is the first view we had of our destination. This is the port at Costa Maya. The only thing in Costa Maya is the port, consisting of a few shops with some pretty aggressive salesman!
This is some of the entertainment at the shops there at the port. Everything was painted in very bright colors. It was HOT! We hung out around the shops for about an hour before we left for our tour.
We boarded a coach bus, just as it began to rain, for our one hour ride to the Chacchoben Ruins. These are ancient Mayan ruins in Mexico. This is the one excursion we did as a whole family. Below is one of the three Mayan temples we saw. To get to this one we had to climb up some steep stone steps. I was one of the few that did it and I was SORE for days!

All in all it was a good day. Abby did great on the tour. We were pretty hot and sweaty by the time we got back. As soon as Jeff and I got back we went straight for the hot tub on the ship. I was relieved to find it very well chlorinated! That night we ate at the Italian restaurant on the ship, La'Trattoria. It was yummy. I was stuffed by the time the main course came, but managed to eat a good part of it anyway.
Next post(s)... Guatemala!!!
