We spent the morning at a cenote park called Secret Worlds and snorkled in a cenote called Dos Ojos (Two Eyes). To get to the snorkel site we first needed to ride in a big truck called a Jungle Buggie on a dirt road through the jungle for 15 minutes. This was actually a cool part of the experience. Papa, on a couple of crazy turns on the way home, almost bounced out of the back!
The cenote was down in a big hole in the earth through which we had to climb down a couple of dozen steps to reach. Can you see the giant tree growing from the bottom of the cave up through the opening?
We jumped into the cool water and then followed our guide through several caverns and caves, some lit up by artificial light, others dark except for our guide's flashlight. Natalie and Jay will scuba the other side of the enormous cave system of Dos Ojos tomorrow. We'll see how this goes.Back at the condo...
This is Sergio our security guard. He is usually around during the days and keeps things safe at our condo. He is a very nice, helpful guy. Jay just had to get a picture of him.
This was a lady we just met but who was nice enough to smile for the camera. We don't even know her name but Jay took a picture of her today because she is a census worker. He thought it was funny that she asked Natalie to fill out census information. Two weeks in a country was enough to fill out a census questionnaire! 
Collin found this beauty at the pool this afternoon. He was so excited to show me that I had to take a picture. Collin and Sydney have held a ton of creatures the last couple of days including an iguana and parakeet tonight. Collin released this butterfly soon after the shot was taken.

Wow, the Cenotes looks amazing. So much fun! I'd rather climb down the tree than those stairs. They looked a little rickety to me. :)
