Following my wedding on the solstice the wife and I set out to find Feathered Serpent . The Chicxulub Crater's call is strong and the the Yucatán Peninsula's residents are amazing people. I must admit that some of the most memorable experiences I had there were related to public transit but when I was able to get away into the heart of the region I learned just how amazing it really was there in the ancient Maya Lowlands . The people we meet were friendly although it was at times hard to get away from masses of people eager to sell you something but truly everyone was very nice.I would have gladly bought way more from the locals than the buisnesses.
One regret I have is that we took a bus into Chichen Itza that wasn't abliged to allow us to wonder about the small towns. I am fairly certain they didn't want us getting to buy things they were wanting to sell from somewhere that didn't have the sam inflated prices as they were offering.
It was amazing how all the fish just swam with you and how the amazing long roots of the surrounding jungle hung down the rocky walls to drink from the cool water.
This would be the last cool moment for a few hours.
Then out of nowhere we get covered by dark black clouds bringing in a hard hitting rain that cooled everything down finally but had us so drenched we couldn't bring our selves to take our camera back out of its bag. Its a shame to because this was a time when we had slipped away from the group and got stuck in a small open shop that was shoulder to shoulder packed with Japenese tourist. This was a time I would have liked to capture on film but soon as the sun came back out we rushed of to try and catch Kukulkan has he slipped down the Pyrimid de Chitzen Itza.
A short time later we were back on our air conditioned bus in our rain covered clothes and managed to actually get cold for a short spell on our way back to our lodging in Cancun.
