Tulum, Quintana Roo MEXICO

We made it to Mexico! We spent one night in Cancun to meet up with our friends Rachael and Andrew, and since then, we have been hanging out in a small town called Tulum, known for its exquisite beaches, cenotes (a collapse of limestone in the land that exposes deep blue, fresh water holes where you can snorkel and scuba dive to discover the underwater cave system), and Mayan ruins. Tulum was one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Mayans and it is situated on a cliff that overlooks the Caribbean.

For the past few days we have been hanging out in Tulum: doing such things as lounging on the beach, snorkeling in the cenotes, and in the ocean.  We both got to see a couple of sea turtles for the first time! Also, we have been eating some great eats!  One of the our first nights in Tulum we ate at a great local joint called, El Camello (The Camel).  Our three plates consisted of: fresh caught ceviche (raw seafood "cooked" in lime juice), filete a la veracruzana (filet with salsa on top), and finally camarones al ajo (shrimp cooked in garlic).  And just to top it off...Una Michelada (Beer with "the house secret sauce").

After eating our fair share of tacos, mole, agua de cualquiera cosa, and piles of seafood and lounging around this Yucatan town, we are ready to head down south to Belize tomorrow.
