Mayan Ruins of Tulum



Here are Patti and Tim at the Mayan Ruins in Quintana Roo, Mexico. This is inside the walled city of Tulum. The weather was very hot even with the clouds. The temperature was 90 the day we were there. I cannot imagine going there in the summer!! It is a very beautiful place as you can see with the Atlantic in the background.

Panama Canal


This was a wonderful 10 day trip through the Panama Canal. There was only a 2 foot clearance on each side of the ship. The ship also visited Jamaica, Panama, Costa Rica, Cozumel and Grand Caymen. We had already been to Jamaica and Grand Caymen. Therefore in these ports we rested and shopped (to my advantage.) I found some beautiful Black Coral!!! It rained in the Rain Forest at Limon. We got to see 2 slothes--a 2 toe and a 3 toe. The two toe was eating. That was really fasinating!! In Cozumel we took a ferry to Playa del Carmen and went to see the Mayan Ruins at Tulum! These ruins were political and ceremonial. Some of the 'house' foundations were left also.

February we will be going to Snowshoe, WV for a week. I will try to send pictures from there.
