CHITCHAN-ITZA ROAD TRIP

A group of 7 visited the ruins at Chichan-Itza (spelling?) in a rented SUV today and had a pretty good adventure.

Thanks to Bonustreak (Christine), Tracy, Sam, Antoine, Henrik and Ryan for making the outing a lot of fun.

The ruins were great and the road trip there and back certainly added to the adventure.

Highlights of the trip:

– seeing ancient Mayan Ruins
– taking the 4 hour scenic route back to the hotel and seeing approx 18 Mexican towns, 2211 mangy dogs, 1 suicidal cat, and 1232 enormous unmarked speed bumps (slight exaggeration except for the cat and towns part)
– Ryan getting stung not once, but twice by a very nasty wasp
– Antoine winning the most annoying back seat driver award
– Getting somewhat lost and ending up in a big town north of Cancun in rush hour, after dark in a rain storm – thankfully, the rain didn’t last long
– Sam, Henrik and myself overcoming our Mexican food stomach problems – no emergency bathroom stops needed – the 2 rolls of toilet paper we packed were not needed…
– Tracy being a superb navigator – without her we would have surely made our way to Belize by accident
– Christine, Antoine and Tracy illegally climbing ruins which were not supposed to be climbed on. Who knew Christine could climb like a mountain goat!
– Shamefully not finishing all of our beer during the road trip :(
– Realizing that Mexican rest stops are actually clean…. what a relief
– Henrik sounding like an Ikea commercial when he spoke swedish on his cell phone
– Did I mention Antoine and his back seat driver routine… lol

So, it certainly wasn’t the most organized excursion ever planned, but not too bad for a group of people trying to make the best of this spring break event or non-event depending on how you look at it.

That’s my report for Tuesday. Tomorrow we have rented speed boats and snorkeling planned… should be a blast.
