Lying around on beach (I was already fighting Montezuma's Revenge in this picture- I look much happier than I was.. :) )
The view from our hotel room balcony:
Logging some hammock time on Isla Muerta:
Alison eating (and discovering she dislikes) octopus at one of the fine restaurants on the resort:
After snorkeling, and swimming with the "Nemo fish", and coming close to being stung by a few small jellyfist (a few people in our group came back hurting)...
The next several pictures are from Chechen Itza, the ancient Mayan/Totec ruins about three hours inland from Cancun-
The planetarium/observatory (pretty wild that they had so much science back then)...
A face in a wall much like a totem pole...
Scattered ruins of decorated rock...
A ruin that I can't remember what it was but it's pretty big and sweet...
Yet again..
Part of the main temple. The Mayans were big on snakes and eagles. They represented how God rules the ground and the heavens...
If you look at the edge of the pyramid, the steps form diamonds that make up the scales of the snakes on the edge of the stairs, running down to their heads at the ground. Wild.
A couple of very white people in hot Mexican weather enjoying the main temple of Chechen Itza...
Ruins seen through the jungle (there are actually still several jaguars in the area, although people have done what they do with anything they don't understand and are afraid of with the rest of them and killed them off)...
Flying away from Mexico. It was 85 degrees in Cancun, and three and a half hours later it was 39 degrees in MPLS. I went road biking when we got home anyway. :)

You should have mixed in Mac and Cheese with the Octopus. It might have gone over better that way...
