Cancun and the Mayan Pyramids

JC and I took a much needed sunny vacation in Cancun to get away from the relatively gloomy and cold LA weather. We relaxed on the beach, toured the Mayan pyramids and did water sports. I took whatever pictures I could (mostly on dry land and not at the beach as I get quite clumsy and probably would've drop the phone in the water).

Chichen Itza - Some ball court that you had to cleanly through the ball through the circle by the wall without touching it....

Jungle tour boat ride and snorkeling
JC and I got to drive out to the Caribbean from the lagoon by ourselves and stopped at the coral reefs to do some snorkeling.

Cancun: Mariachi on the bus
On our way to downtown Cancun, we happened to get on a party bus as a mariachi was singing away!
