Climbing the Ruins in Mexico

11/20/2018

Rope
​

Picture
This little pile of rope was very soft and worn. I enjoyed sitting a while.
Picture
It was actually at the bottom of a long, stretched out, piece of rope.

Coba
​

Picture
I was sitting at the bottom of a temple that was once part of the ancient Mayan city of Coba. Above me, there were 120 steps.

At the Top
​

Picture
I could not even climb one step. So Beth carried me in her camera bag and climbed to the top. This is the metal ring that holds the rope.

Enjoying the View
​

Picture
I sat on the ring and Beth sat on the top step. We watched the people climbing up. Going down was scarier and that's when people held the rope. We didn't tell them that the rope looked a little raveled, up at the top.

Succulents in Cozumel

Green  
​

Picture
You would never know I was in Mexico. 
Picture
They have green succulent plants like these, lot of places.
Picture
Some of these aren't at all cozy for lounging around.

View!
​
Picture
But the view is excellent! I can look up at the purple flower. I can look down at the smooth, green. And behind me...

Water!
Picture
Behind me is the most lovely, blue-green water. Now you can tell I'm in Cozumel.

Pan De Meurete... in Mexico

Bread of the Dead
​

Picture
It is November first and we are still in Mexico. Beth is trying to please me with more sweet foods. She said this was "Bread of the Dead" and I said, "What!"

Celebrating 
​

Picture
Beth said it really wasn't scary. In Mexico, this is Day of the Dead. It's a day to celebrate those who have died. She and Don went to the grocery store and brought me back the traditional sweet treat that is enjoyed on Dia de Muertos. It smelled very good.

Chichen Itza in Mexico

Ruins and a Flower
​

Picture
It was hot when we visited the ruins of Chichen Itza.  I hid under the shade of a flower for a while.

Posing
​

Picture
Beth insisted I be in a photo with the most famous of the old Maya ruins.  But El Castillo was very blurred in this photo.

Another Try
​

Picture
You can guess whose hand that is. The blur behind me is El Castillo.

Sharing the Spotlight
​

Picture
Beth wanted to hold me in this photo.  Yep, the ruins are in focus, but I'm not.  Beth just wanted to hog the spotlight.  She's in focus, too.

Better Ruins
​

Picture
Picture
If you wander off a while you can find some ruins that aren't totally protected by ropes.  I sat right down on one big, chunky circle. You can see the columns in the distance, behind me. I love being right in the middle of Mayan history!

Relaxing? In Cancun

4/29/2017

Sunrise
​

Picture
Beth dragged me out at 6:15, but the sunrise was blocked by clouds.

Protected?
​

Protected?

Picture
She put me in her footprint, as if that wall of sand surrounding me would keep the water away. It looks like I'm far away from danger, but the sea water filled up Beth's footprint right after she snatched me up!

​Up and Away
​
Picture
I decided to find a place to relax, away from the sand and water. I clung tight to the ropes.

My Hammock
​

Picture
There was no one around so early, but you never know who might come along. I decided it was better to be safe than sorry.  The day before I saw a lot of large and lazy bodies rocking in those green hammocks. I figured I would enjoy the breeze from my safe spot.

​I like rocking.

Easter?

This is confusing.
​

Picture
Beth and Don took me to Mexico.  Beth thought it was a clever idea to pack along some Easter bunnies, since we would be away during the holiday. On Easter morning I thought there would be jelly beans and dyed eggs... pastel colors at the very least. But, there were no signs of Easter. Beth's hotel coffee came in a Santa mug. 

​This is just not right.

Ship and Burro
​

Picture

Last spring I arrived in Cozumel, Mexico on a big cruise ship.  It was a little different this year.

Pardo the Burro
​

This time I rode across the Rio Grande in a rowboat and traveled up a dirt road on my buddy Pardo. 

​Tacos in Boquillas
​

Picture

Picture







Only now and then do I pose on a plate for travel photos. I did it once with oysters and maybe once with shrimp. But I was so excited about my visit to the village of Boquillas, that I just had to sit next to these steamy chicken tacos!

​Plus, there was a great view!
​
Picture

By the way, I did not have any beer.  I like to be extra alert when I'm riding burros!

Another Country for my List!
​

Picture

Here I am in a palm tree on the island of Cozumel.

Another Palm
​

But I've actually posed  with palm trees in Texas, so that wasn't a new adventure.

Posing with an Instrument

Picture



Now this is a first!  Not only did I pose on this giant instrument, but it was being played while I sat there!

Good Vibrations!
​

Picture

People talk about  feeling the music!   I felt every humming note as I sat next to those vibrating strings!   I will remember this fine musician and his colorful music more than any of those palm trees!

    Little Bear
    ​

    My mom gave me this tiny bear many decades ago... because  I like small things. 

    Some years back, I used
    him in an assignment for a photo club and I got hooked.  This little guy is a great excuse to play.  He fits in my camera bag, so he's always at the ready for a photo shoot.  He's been to a lot of places and he's had a few close calls, with fire, rivers, champagne, wild animals... the scariest of all was when he was lost in New York and returned to me weeks later.  

    I started the blog for Little Bear in 2012, but he got tired of my blogging style, very quickly. He has been writing his own blog for years.
