A Few For the Road

Dear all -

I guess I've finally recovered from the shock of being back at work after our trip...and so I figured I'd post some pics from the last few days! Stacy and I are in the works of compiling our pics into a cd for everyone, although we're on Mexican time so it may be a while.

So, enjoy the rest of your summer, and keep in touch!


The VIP movie theatre...




The purple cobra (so aptly named)
















A typical day in the van....and Connor's usual spot.

Harvey's favorite picture spot in Mexico - we kindly obliged by giving him a bit of extra photo time (mad driving skills, Stacy!).


At home with henequen.













My view from the donkey carts.


Looking up from one of the cenotes...







Comfortable, right Brad?



Front view with the boys' awesome driver.



The hammocks await for your return trip!! Y'all come back now, y'hear?

We came to Mexico to experience a developing nation....we found it!


So last night we thought we should have a true experience of Mexico. We all dressed accordingly and prepared to experience the hard life....watching Star Trek in the VIP Altabrista movie theatre... In case you can't tell, yes, that is a waiter....

The Ruins...*dun dun dun* <--- (dramatic music)

Hennequen hacienda yaxcopoil.. Just scoping out our new summer home!












Brad coaching his fellow compadres down the Mayan temple












Brad, Connor, and Kyle at the top of the temple scoping the site for babes









HELLLO UP THERE!











The group posing against an amazing background










The iguana is on attack....we were afraid of it..but only for a moment. Once we pondered our plan, we jolted to action and reigned victorious. Mmm, taste like chicken!







Our guide, Carlos, points to...something. I'm sure it was something intriguing

A Restful Night....???


Here we see the elusive male homosapiens. This group is known to wrap themselves in festive cocoons each night.
