Chichen Itza
Well now that you have taken a look at the FABULOUS Resort John and I played at in Mexico, now I will share some of the excursions we went on. First, spending a week in Mexico is NOT out of reach. Talking with Hal Golden at www.VacationsToGo.com, sometimes spending a week at an all-inclusive in Mexico is cheaper than a week in Myrtle Beach! BELIEVE ME, if you want to go to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, VacationsToGo can make it happen for you WITHIN your budget. I just want you to know that.
Okay, Chichen Itza!!! For years I have been looking at pictures of this “forgotten for a time” wonder, with my desire to actually go and visit getting stronger each time I saw it in print. When John asked where I wanted to go on vacation, you bet the first thing I said was Chichen Itza. Oh my gosh… when we came to the clearing, and there before us was El Castillo (the main temple) of Chichen Itza, I just stopped in awe. I was actually standing in front of this magnificent dwelling! I was there! I still can’t get over it! We weren’t able to climb the steps of Chichen Itza, but just listening to our tour guide Norma share with us the history was phenominal. If you have children needing to do a book report this coming up school year about a “wonder of the world,” encourage them to write about this fascinating, once thriving, Mayan city! And then take them on a field trip!
