Chichen Itza

Great, very long day today.  We didn't really know what to expect.  The little van picked us up at the hotel at 7 am this morning.  We drove to the mall where a bunch of other folks also began arriving.

Turns out Chichen Itza is about 130 miles from Cancun.  You can do the math on that.  After about   1 1/2 hours we stopped at the cenotes.  It's a really big underground sinkhole.   Then we stopped for an original Mexican Buffett lunch.  Very good, couple items really hot.  Got to Chichen Itza about 2:15.  Enjoyed walking around the park.  Got back to the hotel at 7:30.  Long day.

I'm glad we went, it was a good day, but I really wish I appreciated the history a little more.  Working on that.  Chichen Itza is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and very impressive.
