December 28th, 2010 - Coba Mayan Ruins

The "high"light at the Coba Ruins is the highest temple discovered so far. You are still allowed to climb it. James, Maria & I did, but Sandra sat this one out.


I pull my "Sampson" impersonation, but even with the long beard I had no effect.




Coba is spread out along one of the major Mayan roads. Many rented bikes or hired bike taxis. Next time we would to.

December 25th, 2010 - Xmas Morning at El Cid Marina

Twas the morning of Xmas and all through the boat, not a creature was stirring...until I anounced "coffee & Baileys".





We enjoy a mid morning coffee and open presents with son James and his fiancee Maria. Sandra surprises me with a Roots watch. I had one for years that was the best, toughest watch I ever owned. It even survived a long stint in our chain locker under 300 feet of 3/8 inch chain and came out ticking.
