    Snorkeling

    Went snorkeling. Really cool.
    Liz decided to stay on shore.

    We saw lots of colorful fish, specifically

  • Chichen itza

    January 2, 2025 in Mexico ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Went to Chicenitza. Eric, Julie, and Liz all went early and looked around until our tour started at 10:30, when the boys showed up.

    We had an excellent tour guide from Eric (who spoke Mayan as well as excellent English).Read more

  • Coba

    January 4, 2025 in Mexico ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    Arrived in Coba. Did our domestic MacGyver routine and scrounged up rocks and wood to elevate Eli's bed.

    Played hearts near the pool until 10:30. Had to stop before a winner was determined, but things look grim for mom.

    As we were getting up from the table Nathan said he didn't feel to good. He started vomiting about 30 minutes later and kept it up all night, going about 30 minutes between episodes.

    We are trying to make it to morning, then will see what is next.

    Things got under control at around 7 (right when I procured a proper bucket). Things seem to be moving in the right direction.

  • Toured Coba ruins

    January 6, 2025 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Eric Julie Liz and Eli toured the ruins of coba. It's super cool. There are big piles of rocks all over that are unexamined Mayan ruins. We did a tour with a guide for 2 hours, then Eli and Eric rented bikes and rode around the rest of the complex. Definitely one of the highlights of the trip.Read more

  • Heading home

    January 6, 2025 in Mexico ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    A huge rainstorm made traffic pretty slow, but we made it to our flight on time

    Nathan looks a little green and we all are pretty tired.

    Mom is somewhere up front, but the rest of us are seated together.

    Good trip overall.
