Finally got a chance to upload some of the photos from Mexico. We all had an absolutely amazing time which made it quite difficult to leave. In between our 98th cocktail and lounging in the pool or ocean, we managed to squeeze in a little sight-seeing and go on a pretty cool excursion. First we walked around some Mayan ruins, and then a few of us climbed the tallest pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula (see below). The pyramid was closing the following week because it was becoming too dangerous to climb so this made it even more exciting to be able to be one of the last climbers. Afterwards we dined at an authentic Mexican restaurant, walked through a Mayan village, and swam in some fresh water springs. I returned from the trip with five extra pounds, one sunburnt shoulder, and the below photos.
