Check out XCARET!

Xcaret (pronounced "Ish-ka-ret") is a beautiful ecological park not far from where we'll all be staying in the Riviera Maya. There's lots of tropical animals, mexican history, snorkeling, snuba diving, another version of scuba where you wear an air-filled helmet and don't have to use a breather at all (seen on the left,) a circling viewing tower, nice beaches, and an AWESOME nighttime show that covers every stage of Mexican history--even a real live game of Mayan poc-de-poc in full Mayan ceremonial costume (see below)! It was the most fun, and I'm hoping to talk Rob into going back there again. Here's a very cool link to an XCARET VIRTUAL TOUR MAP. Check it out!
