Dj's sister, Lori, stands in front of the Temple of the Warriors at Chitchen Itza.

Excavations around the site at Chitchen Itza. There is potentially much more to be found underground at the site.

I took this picture on the way back to the ship from Chitchen Itza to get a look at just how huge it is. You can see the water slides on top from this view. The windows below that were either the gym or the Windjammer Cafe. You can see Lori and Lucy walking to the ship in the foreground.

This is the main pool area that everyone could use on the cruise ship. There was another just for kids and one just for adults. The running track went around this whole area above it - you can see people running in the background. This was around 6:30am and the pools did not open until 9:00am.

The first morning there was a line dancing class we all went to. DJ got crowded off the dance floor halfway through, so he took a picture instead.
