Arriving at Uxmal. The night before, Jay and John didn't sleep well on account of the rain. It was pouring the whole night and continued through the morning. However, we decided if we didn't try to see Uxmal today, we might not be able to see it at all. When we arrived, we discovered we were the fifth and sixth cars of the day.
This is the parking lot/swimming pool.

And it rained......

and rained.....

And then it stopped (after we had already seen Uxmal in the pouring rain) and then we actually got pictures of this incredible place. We saw Uxmal twice once soaking wet and raining buckets, and the second time soaking wet with no rain.

Temple of the Magician.

The Governor's Palace.

The Temple of the Magician raising from the forest. From the Governor's Palace.

House of the Turtles. One of the kids' favorite buildings because of the cute turtles making their way around the top.

What the kids will remember from Uxmal: the creatures.

Natalie found a waterlogged frog.

Sydney and Collin found butterflies all day long.

The grounds were very enchanting with different shapes of bushes.
