A Carnival Cruise So Long Ago…2004…Pt. 2

P5100753 Arriving in to the Progresso port…The building looked so small..I was very excited to see what the town of Progresso was like…
P5100765 Carnival Glory docked at the port of Costa Maya on May 10…Our trip was going to Chacchoben to see some Mayan ruins and see the culture…A bus ride to Merida was interesting being able to see how the houses were…

Look at those steps..Could one imagine walking up those steps all the time, possible a few times a day…The Mayans had to be in good physical condition..The amazing thing was how the rocks were all formed together to make the steps and the walls of this ruin…
P5100890 The lush flowers and trees were different from what we see in the states…I had wished that there were signs telling what kind of flowers, bushes and trees were around the area…
P5100850 This tree’s roots look like some sort of dinosaur feet to me…There were all kinds of these trees around the area…

Costa Maya was a very interesting piece of land…Listening to the guide about the nature and the ruins and the people who use to live around this area was very interesting…
