Cancun Day 5

On Saturday we went to Tulum, the Mayan temples. You walk through this little wall and there is this city inside- pretty cool. We took the tour and lost our guide because we kept stopping to take pictures, but we found him again, and ended up at the cliff with the beach below. Sean was sick that day so he didn't go into the ocean. We were only in there of about 15 minutes when the storm came and the lifeguard made everyone get out. Well the storm was pretty intense and the rain and sand hitting us from the wind hurt. Sean said he would meet us at the front and we stayed and took some more pictures. Then when we tried to get out of the city wall, there was a group of tourists waiting to come in, but they were standing under the opening in the wall, starring at us as the rain was pounding down. It seemed pretty obvious to me that we wanted to get through the wall, but apparently they had no clue. So finally I asked them if we could get through but they wouldn't move, and it turned out they didn't speak English. So I gestured and kept talking to try and get the message across, and one lady said " You get through?" SERIOUSLY??? No, really we liked standing in the rain getting pounded by sand and just felt like starring at them all nice and under the shelter. These people were idiots. So then the two people in front leaned against the wall for us to fit through but the space was so tiny it was impossible( you can see me standing in the wall in a pic below). Finally they moved out and we were free. Then as we ran to catch the tram that took us back to the front where the buses were, a powerful gust of wind came and knocked the glasses off my head and they broke. So we get to the front and can't find Sean. Brian decided to go buy a souveniere and Bree and I kept searching through the crowds as people tried to sell us stuff. It was time to go and Sean was nowhere. Then he came out of the bus and we saw him and got on too. Well that was an interesting day, but fun and beautiful. The bus then took us to anothere Palace resort in the jungle and we saw animals and swam in the pools there.
