Xcaret

Well, yesterday we had a very full day of fun at the eco theme park Xcaret (ish ca ray). A truly remarkable, must see part of the Mayan Riviera. You need a full day to experience all the park has to offer... Underwater rivers, lagoons to relax and swim, swimming with Dolphins and Sharks... yes sharks. Also, an orchid farm, a rotating tower that gives you a view of the entire area, ancient church, mayan ruins, butterfly sanctuary, snorkel tours, giant turtles, amazing aquarium... and on and on and on. But, the highlight is the show in the eveing that wraps up the day. This is one of the most elaborate, professional shows that we have ever seen. Hundreds of professional performers, horses, trained parrots... dancers, singers and musicians that trace the Mayan culture from its beginnings. Horses galloping on stage, a mayan game that is similar to hockey, except instead of a puck, they use a ball of FIRE!... bare feet as well. Anyway, imposible to describe in words or pictures. This is something you must experience. Highly recomended for anyone travelling to this part of the world. Infact, please feel free to post any comments if you have been to Xcaret, and any thoughts or tips you may have.
So, after alot of walking and a full day yesterday, today will be a lazy slug lying on the beach kind of day... beach here is spectacular by the way... and it is calling me, so bye for now.
