I couldn't stay in bed the entire vacation thus I decided to go to Isla Mujeres on Thursday. The boat was a 2 part sail ship, a fantastic ship. The crew was hilarious and the other passengers were a high-school class from Chicago and a university class from Spain.

First everybody went snorkeling and after we left for Isla Mujeres (island of women). The water was unbelievable clear, you could literally see the bottom of the sea.

Mayan Ruins

Observing the serpent during the last spring equinox was quite the miracle.

Another day trip to explore the famous Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins and the Cenote sinkhole groundwater near Quintana Roo. It developed a small obsession with Mayan culture due to it's mysterious legend of 2012.

Ooh boy, where do I start. This trip to Mexico has truly been one of the most messed up stories out of my travel adventures yet. It honestly, in my opinion was either a very bad day or a day of faith. Everything pretty much went wrong from the moment I woke up in my apartment in Mississauga, Canada

What happened?
