Like XCARET, XPLOR is another theme park in the Yucatan. Since Esteban and I were older now we wanted to try something more adventurous. We got to go ziplining and explore some underground rivers and caves. This park was awesome and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to zipline.

This picture was at Chankanab a local park on Cozumel. Most of the day was spent either on the beach or snorkeling in the ocean. One of the times when I went into the water to snorkel I noticed some fish start to circle me. It was strange, but I just kept minding my own business. What I didn't realize was that I had a packet of crackers in my swimming trunks. The fish kept getting closer and closer and a couple nibbled on me. I scrambled to swim back and get the crackers out of my pocket while also swinging the GoPro to try and smack the fish away. Eventually, I was able to get the packet out of my pocket. That was one hell of a way for me to learn to keep food out of my pockets when snorkeling.

Going back to *Chichén Itzá* after so many years was surreal. I was really able to take in the scale of how big these pyramids were. The other thing that stuck out to me was how symmetrical everything was. Everywhere I looked I could see rows of pillars that were in perfectly straight lines. I'm talking about Multi ton stones, it was so impressive. The size of the Pok-a-Tok stadium was also crazy. It's bigger than a football field and only played with one ball the size of a basketball. The game was taken so seriously and was sometimes used to settle disputes where the losing team was sacrificed. Talk about high stakes. Check out how it's played here.&#x20;
