Mexico trip - six nights in February-March 2007
Panorama view from our patio at Las Villas Akumal, on Jade Beach just south of Akumal
Here are some scenes from a six-night trip. Four nights in Akumal, final two nights in Chichen Itza. Bob, Michele and Jeff on the go, escaping the endless Boulder winter of 2006-2007.

Our neighborhood ignaua in Akumal. We watched him
patiently wait, then grab insects out of the air.
We start driving west. Here, the calm waters
of the lake at Coba.
We arrive at Chichen Itza.
Mayan family making their living at the ruins.
The pool at Hanienda Chichen. Aaaaah!
You can't tell the ruins without a scorecard ... or a guide.
