While we were there we took an interesting day tour to a fascinating place called XCARET. #1 pic is an old Mayan burial ground that has been painted to show it better. #2 is a little tour boat on the river that only floats on part of the river because the rest of it goes undergroundand is open for swimming. We did it. It was about a 2 1/2 hour swim with life jackets to hold you up and the slow currentwill carry you along. It is close quarters and surrounded by rockwith a rounded ceiling like a long tube. there were some lights strung along the top so it was partially light. Also there were about 4 places where those that couldn't take the closed in feeling could get out. One escape place we could look up and see the ceiling in the building thathad been built around the opening.Also, while in there we could talk to the swimmers in the river below. #3 pic shows the ceiling. On the walk back to the lockers to get our clothes we went into the building to take a pic of the ceiling. That underground swim was a most interisting and unusual experience. #4 is a banana palm on an island that was in the middle of the swimming pool at our condo. The Hot Tub was on the island and every time we were in the hot tub we would see this tree. One of the restaurants there was canned Tha BUBA GUMP SHRIMP CO. The waitresses were dressed up as Super Heroes.This was what our cute little waitress looked like. Hope you enjoy the views. Ray
