Chichén Itzá was my favorite part of our trip! It was so beautiful and fascinating. Our guide was great & I loved to imagine the lives that were lived here so long ago...
While there, the kids had a hard time but we made it through with popsicles & lots of water. When I was in Cancun with my Dad as a kid, I refused to go to the ruins because it sounded boring. So I am pretty proud of my girls even though they didn't really have a choice, ha.
We also did some shopping because there is a lot of choices on the grounds. Zara found some lovely embroidered dresses. Now Zara, Eleanor & I each have one. Zara wears her dress nonstop. They are a special reminder of our time in Mexico.
Our tour took us swimming in a cenote after the ruins. It was such a refreshing. I have not gone swimming this much since I was a kid because I hate changing in and out of wet bathing suits. Somehow I made it through this challenge, lol.
We also had a very delicious lunch & Zara made friends with some turtles. It was almost impossible to get her to leave.::
I took some photos from the bus ride through Yucatan & felt all the feelings about privilege. Through the whole trip, I just felt guilty for being lucky enough to be born in the USA. I wish for more equality, opportunity & an easier immigration process for the beautiful people of Mexico (& all immigrants). They are kind, hard working and welcomed our family with open arms. Such beautiful people & country::
