Day at Tulum Ruins

Tulum is the only seaside Mayan archaeological site. It was beautiful.
Temple of the Descending God (AKA the Bee God??)

I read a lot of literature that translated one manifestation of the descending god into the bee god. We did bring some of our honey, and traded it for a bit of local stingless bee honey.

The beekeeper we met is convinced that the cultivation of stingless bees will soon go the way of the hieroglyphics. He believes, that without the help of another NGO, this part of the Mayan culture will also soon be lost.

There was a stairway down to the sea at this ruin, which was wonderful. It was VERY hot.
