And this is what it looks like Friday, January 24 outside of our hotel on this is around 11 o'clock in the morning there's no sun inside and it's rained a little bit so I don't think my days going to be out by the pool so instead we're going to go down to the flea market take the bus down to the flea market come back and see what the weathers like


There's talk about a storm rolling in on Friday I hope not because that's my dates has swim and lab by the pool all day but the clouds are rolling in is not a good sign

And of course like everyplace revisited there's tons of Artisian's in markets that you can buy things inside these am popular sites and everything we looked that we thought we don't need this is just junco we get home so anyway was quite fascinating and everybody as we walk by the Mayans would lower their prices to get you to buy something but it was a little bit better than being in Egypt Egypt they harassed Asaba time





And serene the field where the players would do their games there is a Wauna that is going up the wall it's called the wall of the Wauna




The small building set up on one of the walls for the games and this is where all the players which shower and get ready to play their games


This building you see is where the king and queen would sit to watch the games that they would have they would chew seven players from different tribes to come and play game called football he would wear a shoe on the right foot and go barefoot on the left and they would kick a ball through the small rings on the sides of the walls if they lost the game they would be beheaded their head would be displayed on the wall called the school wall for all to see they had spectators sharing the players on

That evening, we enjoyed a wonderful salad at the Argentine steakhouse. It reminded us of being back in Buenos Aires again,we ate till we were filled and enjoy good bread, cheese, and salad.



After half hour wait. We are ready for second dive. Here Bill is prepping the tanks for the last dive. It was really great to see the stalactites and stalagmites at 50 feet under the water. Truly incredible!
This was after our first cavern dive. It was really exciting. We submerged at about 11:30 AM came out about 1205. It was very nice, we couldn't believe how beautiful the sun shone through the crystal-clear water. Our visibility was over 100 feet. It was truly a dive to remember!
