Life and Times of Dangie

Angie and i got back from cancun sunday night. that was really fun we spent a week there with josh and deena and got to see some really pretty scenery and also some rad mayan ruins. our hotel was soo nice. it was the grand mayan. each couple had their own huge room , then we had a comon room in the middle with a kitchen and stuff. angie and i had problems with our tub one night and the maintenance people came and tried to fix it. we didn't get to bed until like 12:00. my favorite part was seeing the ruins. we toured Chichen Itza, Tulum and Coba. my favorite was tulum. it's right on the shore and it was just a really cool charming place. Chichen itza was just huge and had that enormous pyrimid, but we couldn't climb it. i guess someone fell and so they won't let you do it anymore, but in coba we could climb the pyrimid. it was really high and took alot of energy to get up there. for Chichen itza and tulum we had an LDS tour guide named lemuel. he's a local bishop and does tour proffesionally. it was pretty cool to hear about some of these places from an lds perspective. you kind of had to take alot of it with a grain of salt. One common theme that came up at all the places was the mysterious descending god and the white bearded man. kind of cool stuff. lemuel shared some theories aobut the uses of some of the buildings for ordinace work etc. it was pretty cool. we swam in 3 or 4 cenotes and they were sooooo fun! some of them were really shallow and fun to explore around and others were so deep that noone has even seen the bottom of them. we spent one day just walking around cancun. it was not our favorite part at all, but nice to say i've been there. we really liked playa del carmen though. its a closer city to where we were staying and it had some really cool pedestrian streets with shops and stiff right by the beach. i got to drink coco verde for the first time since the mission, they call it coco frio in mexico. it was so yummy and i talked everyone else into trying it too. Since we've been back things have been so crazy with school trying to catch up etc. But it was a really nice break! hope you all like the pics. In one of them Josh and I are impressing some locals with our own demonstration of how the mayans might have sacrificed people. try to guess which one it is :)
