we woke up early and drove about 2 1/2 hours to chichen itza. totally worth it. one of the wonders of the world, which apparently doesnt mean much because if you google "7 wonders of the world", there are like 900 bazillion different wonders of the world lists. lots of crazy architecture, beheading murals and nutty vendors. next we drove to the town of Valladolid, which was a colonial town. Such an amazing little town, we had the best lunch at El meson de Marques in the outdoor courtyard. I had this crazy mayan chicken stew with raisins and Chris had a smorgasbord of burritos, enchiladas, and tacos. and they made table side guacamole! drove the long drive home, came back to the hotel and tried the french restaurant which was NOT my favorite. AND it was filled with french people which was totally weird to me. who comes from france to mexico to eat mediocre french resort food?? so confusing. another exciting day, but ready for some total laziness tomorrow. xoxox, amanda+chris
