I went to Cancun, Meheeco near the end of may and I thought I would post some pics of my trip. My girlfriend and I took over 100 pictures. These are only a handful of those. We did a lot of cool s***. Rappelling, zip-lining, swimming with sharks and stingrays, snorkling, biking, canoeing...basically the works. We even checked out those nifty Mayan ruins. So, enjoy.

This is Chichen-Itza...it is like 3 hours away from Cancun. There were a lot of ruins....this is the most popular one.

This is me about to be sacrificed to the Mayan Gods...I don't think the Mayans appreciated me doing this....but oh well

Swimming with a Bull or Tiger shark (not sure which)...behind a glass cage of course...

Snorkling in the worlds 2nd largest reef barrier. Our guide was Canadian so that was cool....and yes, that tattoo is real..and relatively new!

The entrance to an underground lake we swam in near Coba. Very clean, somewhat cold.

A sink hole or Cenote near Chichen-Itza...this was amazing. It was 150 feet into the ground and 70 feet deep with no shallow area. It was fresh water and there were tons of cat fish swimming around you.

An idea of what the water was like. This pic was taken on the way to Island of Women where we did swimming with sharks and whatnot.

Good pics!

The wife and I went to Cozumel,MX right across the channel from Cancun. It was fun but we had hell of alot of sudden showers that flooded the streets and all the sewers over ran the side walks. But hey, it was fun.

Thanks bro.
Me and my girl got a real sweet deal with this trip. It only cost us $1500 canadian ($3 American) for the both of us, All Inclusive, 7 days,and in a 5 star hotel (the Grand Oasis). We did it through Apple tours if your interested. The only catch is that you MUST have a flexible schedule. They pretty much tell you when you are going and we did not find out what hotel we were staying at until we arrived at Detroit Airport.
So, in essence, one of us travlled for free!
