More at Costa Maya

While walking around at all of the ruins, Mya got wiped out! It was really hot this day and we were doing all we could to keep her cool.

This tree is actually what they consider to be the tree of life. I have a better picture of one from Guatemala because this one is missing a lot from the hurricane. But they consider it the tree of life because the branches are like a ladder up to heaven and also a bunch of other symbolic things (like there are 12 roots - which I know 12 is symbolic for priesthood, but I can't remember what everything meant).
The bus ride back. Mya was crashed! We were actually on our way to go have lunch, but after lunch on the bus, we stopped on the side of the road and our guide got out and bought us "pineapple and cayanne pepper". The guide was raving about how good it is, so of course you gotta do as the locals do and try it. It was hot, but really good! In fact, it reminded me of hawaiian pizza.
This is at lunch. We ate at a restaurant that is right by the lake. The limestone sunk down and because of a bunch of underground rivers, it filled up to be a fresh water lake, even though you don't see any rivers going in or out of the lake. So Justin and Mya went swimming to cool off. For lunch that day, we had salsa and chips (the salsa was flaming hot and just kept getting hotter and hotter in your mouth-you definitely could not pile it on your chip) rice, fresh vegetables, and chicken.
