Tulum, Mexico

The final leg of our journey included a trip to Playa del Carmen to meet up with my (Jackie's) mom! Playa was a cool, tourist trap of a beach town but with more style than Cancun. Lots to do and eat and lots of tourists. One cool thing we did was head out to the nearby Tulum ruins in Tulum, Mexico.
For the Ruin enthusiast, the ruins themselves (as ruins go) are nothing spectacular. Their location makes them incredible. They are located directly on a Caribbean beach overlooking the blue water. Beug here makes Mayan life seem pretty good, aside from the human sacrifices and turmoil.
After a hot afternoon of checking out ruins we hit the beach for a dip.
