It's Terry's turn...

Through Terry's underwater camera I give you his view of our Mexican vacation 2010.

Meet snorkel Dan...Hi Dan!

Meet snorkel fishy, he actually isn't snorkeling.

Meet giant sombrero Nathan loving the mariachi music...

...he's also a wave runner

Our three Canadian touristas.

Tayler and I wearing the yellow tanks looking at a Mayan temple. Though this by far was not the biggest temple there, it was the more preserved. As the Mayan calender is circular and in three sections of different sizes...as they move and come together over the years certain significant dates repeat. As like we like to renovate our homes, it is known that every 57 years the Mayan calender comes together to a point that tells them it is time to renovate...not just change the paint colour but total get rid of all they have and start clean...instead of tearing down the temples and building new they build new ones over the old. The one in this photo, one of the smallest had 9 temples inside where as some of the larger ones, like the one you see us (not me) climb had only 7. Cool huh? Oh, and you know the prediction of the end of the world in 2012 according to the Mayan calender? yeah, well that is simply just the calender starting completely over. We never see the same day again in our calender system, it will never ever again be November 17,2010, but the Mayans see the same days. So 2012...this is actually the begining!!

From inside the Cenote everyone (but me) repelled down.

What would our trip be with out a coral Inukshuk?

Snorkel Nathan makes an appearance.

He found a feathered friend.

Tayler playing a wee little guitar on the streets of Playa.

These iguanas clearly didn't respect the wet floor sign. Must be a rebel gang.

Highlight of the trip for me.....coming across a fresh hatching of sea turtles and getting to hold them!! No kidding. Eco-Bahia works hard to monitor natural turtle nest in the sand of a few varieties...they time the fertilization period then dig up the nests when they think/know its hatching time. It is their goal to make sure that every turtle gets at chance a life...no running for their lives towards the ocean where if left on average less than 5% make it....in this hatching there were over 150 turtles, I got to hold one and man did he want to make a break for the water, just doing what comes natural. It was cool to find that their shells are actually hard. Cool? I can tell you it was beyond cool.

And for those of you sitting on the edge of your seats waiting with great anticipation for a glimpse through Nathans lens, ~~Hi Grandma!!! ~~Hi Pam!!~~ I can't make any promises. We can't seem to get the photos off right now....he was using an old digital that was bound for the recycle bin at his dad's work and is old style...so old we can't find a way to get the pics off the memory card. We will make every effort I assure you. :o)

Stay tuned.
