The $21.00 USD admission fee now includes a tour of the marine mammal enclosure. We got to see the dolphins and learn their names and some stories about them. We also got to see the three manatees that are part of the collection. The manatees are so cute... and huge.

On Thursday we planned a mainland trip to see Mayan cultural sites (aka ruins). Dave booked the trip through Pedro and Alex at Coral Princess. We were to catch the 7am ferry to Playa del Carmen and meet the Odyssey Adventures representative at Senor Frogs at the end of the Playa pier.
Dave's perseverance paid off as he found the Odyssey guy. He did not have us on any list. He had us follow him to a Chinese takeout off the main street and said there would be another couple joining us but they weren't coming until 8:45am. We should come back by 8:25 in case they were early and the van would then be there to take us to Tulum and Cuba. There as no other couple and the van showed up around 8:45. It was all very impromptu from this point on.
Our driver, a very nice gentleman who went by the nickname M&M, did not have a clue, spoke little English, and desperately did not want to be out and about with two gringos. In spite of the "issues" Dave and I had a good time, learned a lot about the Mayan culture and saw some amazing sites.

Chankanab! So jealous. It snowed 5 inches here tonight.
Beautiful but not good for leaf sales. No one here can drive in one inch let alone five! Enjoy the warm.
