In the middle you can see a bird that I can't remember the name of. The guide said it was important, so I took a picture of it.

We just drifted, slowly getting closer and closer.

Real quick, breaking news...

So we've been busy adventuring in the Yucatan. Haven't been able to post about it in real time. After Celestun we went further south to Campeche. LOVE Campeche. I have tons to post about it including meeting some of Barfo's relatives.

Went to the amazing ruins of Ednza.

Then off to a cenote on the way to Valladolid.

Toured the ruins of Ek Balam where my dad climbed the pyramid.

Today we ended up in Playa Del Carmen. It's where we ending our trip at a nice resort.

We in the gated community just south called Playacar.

There are many resorts in Playacar.

We like the Riu resorts. There are 6 here in Playacar. 2 nice, 2 very nice, 1 luxury, and 1 OMFG.
We've always stayed at the Riu Palace Mexico. It's luxury but it you watch the sales you can get it for a affordable price. With the Black Friday sale and birthday discount we got 2 rooms here for want the very nice would cost.

When we got here to the resort they said, nope, you're not staying here, since you've booked direct and we're overbooked we're moving you to the Riu Palace Riviera Maya. THIS PLACE IS TITS!

HOLY SHIT!

Pictures and stories from everything coming soon, I'm just really excited. Nicest resort I've ever been to.

If you're interested you should google it.

We stayed at the Riu palace in Cabo a few years back. It was nice and I felt worth the money

I've been kinda spoiled lately.

Do you have any videos of these flamingos attacking you while you fight them off for several minutes?

No. And I have no idea if they taste like chicken.

After Celestun we went to Campeche. It's one of two walled cities in North America, the other being Montreal. The Spanish used Campeche as a major port inside the Gulf of Mexico. Pirates kept attacking and raiding the ships so the Spanish built a wall around the city and fortified it.

Campeche is beautiful.

On the malacon they have a fountain and light shows set to music at night.

Ran into some of @barfo's relatives.

Their baseball team is the Campeche Pirates, so I found the team store and scored a jersey!
