Stained glass adorning the iglesia next to our hotel
I love the sunset...
Another view of the main plaza
I took this from our balcony, the rickshaw survives!
It seems that Jesus is ashamed of his body
Church of St.Francis in Oxkutzcab, pronounced O-sh-kutz-cab
Feel like we're back home!
¡Buenos noches compadres!
Unfortunately, we left the memory card, with the last two days captured on it, back at the Hotel San Antonio - so in order to keep up with our comings and goings, pretend like we just kinda "showed up" in the middle of the Yucatan. Our pictures of Tan-Kah, Tulum and Casa de Jonny will be posted whenever we get around to it...
We left the Riviera Maya this morning and ended up here in Ticul. From what we were told by our SUPER friendly waiter, Coco, we were two of the ten Americans this year that vacation, here, in the middle of nowhere. I guess the Germans and Italians are the real connoisseurs of Mayan ruins. Oh well. More carne asada for us!
The big drama of the day unfolded when we were stopped by the federales on the way out of Quintana Roo (a state in Mexico)...A dude, not a day older than 17, came up to Scott's window and started rambling on in Español. Needless to say, we understood zero words, and I decided that it would be a good idea to just hand him our dictionary...he started laughing. They checked our trunk and Scott thinks that they let us go because of my incessant, unintelligible questions about the ruins, the weather, his family, etc...(In broken Spanish, of course.)
Tomorrow morning, we are eating desayuno (breakfast) by the light of the big screen tv. Greco´s, a cafe across from the main plaza, is showing the Mexico vs. Portugal match at 9 am...Wonder if we´ll make it?

So do either one of you yahoos speak Spanish? Or did you two white kids just show up in the back country of Central America with a few bucks and a cooler of Coronas? Yes, I have seen the Tash magic of being able to talk her way out of anything, it's a beautiful gift. Would have paid to see your conversation with the policia.
Have a great time, this is such a cool way to keep in touch while you're gone and hear about your trip. Keep it coming!
