Cruise Day 3- Costa Maya!

Our first stop on the cruise was Costa Maya, Mexico.  Jeremy and I had room service bring breakfast for our wake up call and then we met the gang early so we'd be off the ship first.  Once at port we met our tour liaison who drove us to the tour office to meet our driver and guide.  We drove an hour on the most straight road I've ever seen to the Mayan ruins. 

My knee was still hurting so I was on crutches...that's what I get for saying I needed to work out my arms! 

 

It was a beautiful, sunny day!

 Our guide gave us a great presentation on the Mayan people and the purpose of the monuments we saw.  I learned more than I even knew existed about the Mayan calendars!  He also reassured us that the Mayans did not say the world would end in 2012...Only one of their 3 calendars end there!  So don't worry- we have a few more years ;)

 It really was a great presentation...we were all just a little tired, hot, and hungry by that point!
After seeing the ruins, they took us to a nearby town where some beautiful ladies made us fresh tamales, rice, beans, chicken, and  tortillas.  It was all really good and it was a great location!

 

We all took lots of pictures :)  Jeremy was in charge of my camera...managing my crutches was enough work for me!

It was nice to get back on the ship, shower, and sit down for a few minutes before going to dinner.  The waiters went around the dining room and then lined up and sang a song for us all.  It was really cool to see them all lined up!
