Well we've made it in one piece. I feel like I was just watching the snow fall in Omaha and we were de-icing the plane before take off and now I'm waking up to chirping birds in the middle of the jungle. The sound is 10X better than any alarm clock or ringing cell phone could make.
When I woke up this morning, I stepped out onto our room balcony and looked around. I'm surrounded by the lush green color that I've been longing for in Nebraska. The ocean breeze hit me the minute I stepped out of the Cancun airport. It's not like the crisp breeze I'm used to from the mountains of Colorado, but it's just as refreshing and I couldn't seem to breathe deeply enough to suck it all in.
We drove from the Cancun airport to Mayaland Resort in Chichen Itza to watch a light show and enjoy dinner. Multi-colored lights bounced on the walls of various Mayan ruins that are located at the resort. The blues, greens, purples, and whites worked together to form flowers and lightning and acted as a story was played over the loudspeakers. Even though I'm here to work on my Spanish, the story was read in Spanish and I, along with most of my group members, were completely lost.
The resort is completely different in the daytime and I can't wait to explore today. We're going to visit a Mayan village, as well as Mayan ruins. Wish me luck!
