All together for the first time in Mexico

Our first night in Mexico we stayed in a beautiful hotel that had a crystal blue pool. This was the first time all of us were together in Mexico!

After a day at the beach...

Day 5 in Mexico...

Since this is my first post, I'll add pictures of some of the key places we've been.
Mexico is hotter than I expected, I don't think I've stopped sweating since we left RDU. We're in Merida right now, and Central College is amazing. We can catch a bus to go downtown and to the museums and the market to shop. We stayed at the hacienda one night before we arrived in Merida and one night in a hotel. I've learned more than I ever thought I would and it hasn't even been a week yet.

With our guide Miguel, along with Dr.Vick, we have more knowledge than any other group in Mexico. They both have shared so much of their knowledge to us and have so far made the trip unforgettable.

Pictures say a 1,000 words so here are some so far...

Tonight we're going into town to watch a show downtown. Tomorrow we will be traveling to the beach and to observe Flamingos.

Hasta Luego!

Merida

Hello All,
We arrived in Merida last night and did a walking tour of Centro this morning. We spent the first two days of our adventure in Valladolid and at the Hacienda Yun Ku. We have visited the Maya sites of Ek Balam and Uxmal. We enjoyed the sound and light show at Uxmal last night before driving into Merida. Our group is great. Everyone is involved and enjoying learning new things.
