Wednesday - Progresso

Wednesday - Progresso

This morning we got up early, and took the kids to Kids Club for the day, while Grant Angie and I did a tour of Uxmal - a Mayan ruin site. We did the ship sponsored tour since we left the kids on board. The trip took about an hour and a half to get there, plus we stopped for a half an hour in town called Uman - it was very cool - very not touristy, so we got to see what the town was really like - a marketplace, and a church. I thought it was really interesting to see.

The ruins were awesome. We got to spend 2 ½ hours there, and we had a guided tour for most of it. It is amazing to see these ruins… and so many unanswered questions about how they lived during these times! The tour guide was telling us that they had found like 1000 sites similar to this one via satelite, and they were trying to carefully restore as many of those as they could.

We just got back to the ship about an hour ago. We decided to switch things up for a bit, and Grant and I took Cori with us to take a nap so that Angie could spend some time with Andrew.

P.S. - Progresso is a neat port - and they were definitely trying to impress us - lots of live music and friendly people - not very pushy at all!

I’ll post this now - and more later.!!!!
