Costa Maya

When the boys weren't listening to the tour guide I had to keep reminding them that they were supposed to be in school and this was a home school field trip. Sean got interested when they talked about the human sacrifices and how they would cut open their chest and rip their hearts out and they had 15 to 20 seconds to run to the temple before the collapsed. If they collapsed before they got to the temple they threw them away and moved on to the next sacrifice. Sean wanted to know if people volunteered it they did it to kids.

A parasite tree around a coconut tree. We also chewed on Allspice leaves and had chewing gum made from the gum tree.

We had lunch at a little dive called Blue Keys. It was on a beach "resort" where we were supposed to spend a couple of hours but it was pouring so after lunch we went back to the ship.
