Chichen-Itza (One of the 7 WONDERS!!!!)

It's kinda hard for me to take a break from Persuasion (I recommend it, by the way) to write this post, but I know it needs to be done (only one more, guys). And day 3 was definitely the craziest day, so this could take awhile. Uh-oh.

So day 3 we splurged and went on a guided tour of Chichen-Itza. It was a blast.

Girls on the bus! It took us about 2.5 hours to get there and a little longer to get home, but we had a party on that bus! Except when it was freezing and we had just been in the sinkhole...

That's me and that's Chichen-Itza, too.

Why can't we just be normal like the other tourists? We apparently like to jump everywhere we are. Don't worry, there are more in other locations. They never really turn out... but we keep trying?

Cutest couple ever.

Seriously, I love this chica. She's lucky I didn't post the ridiculous ones she took of herself on the boat! Hilarious.

Beto was our tour guide. We had to wear these necklaces everywhere. I heart him.

I am going to blame this on heat exhaustion. Who's idea was it to do a booty shot?

This could be in the running for most awkward family photo ever. My hands on knees look is extra nice.

That is a very important hole behind us. Someone with a better memory than me will tell you why it is so important.

And then we started to get tired.

Then kinda crazy.

Then hot and sweaty and ready to leave.
After spending a few hours at Chichen-Itza we got back on the bus and they took us to this really cool sinkhole! This is the view from above.

Me and Rach went together and we were kind of afraid. Okay, maybe just I was. Only because I thought the water was going to be freezing.... and then when we got up to the top I got a little more scared.

Me and Rach jumped together!

The after picture. Look at what tough girls we are.

Sarah and Mel contemplating the jump.

Jumping!

Couple of crazies!

Oh my gosh our towels match! How cute are we?!
It actually wasn't St. Patrick's Day that day. We just had lots of green food for dinner that night. Quesadillas, guacamole, salad, and hint of lime chips (I love those!). It was kind of yummy.
I also had my first experience with So You Think You Can Dance that night. Kinda fun. And we made smoothies that tasted kinda funny.

Our tour guide that day was definitely the best tour guide I've ever had anywhere in the world. He was HILARIOUS. Maybe that just shows you what I value in a tour guide... Rach caught him telling this joke on camera. We were dying.

We were hot, okay?

It's probably not blog-kosher for me to be posting so many pictures, so I'm sorry if this is too much. I understand the desire to not comment.
