Have you ever watched Ancient Aliens? Looking at these mayan ruins really makes you appreciate how advanced and ahead of their time the Mayans were in math, science, astronomy, engineering, and probably a lot of other things.

Cenote Ik Kil

150 meters deep into.. just unknown abyss I guess? The water was refreshing, and that jump platform (where all the red shirt guys are standing) was a lot higher up than I would have liked. Made the jump twice: once to overcome my fear of heights and a second time to make sure I was still scared of heights. I am.

Valladolid

Valladolid was a pitstop I didn't plan on making, but was glad I did. Apparently there are a bunch of beautiful cenotes near by as well, but we just found a nice budget hotel with wifi, explored the colorful town by foot, and found a classy restaurant with some of the most amazing fish tacos I've ever had all for about $4 USD. Including a pineapple juice.
