Below I have inserted 2 pictures.  The first is from the eco park called Xcaret.  It is pronounced “ish-karett”–and means small inlet in Mayan.  It is an archaelogical site that has been turned into a tourist park.  Kind of a “Jungle Disneyland”.  There are tons of actitivies, wild animals, and environmental awareness(guess which was my favorite!)  I am sitting in front of Mayan ruins.  Shortly after that, I went for a snorkel out to the barrier reef.  It was nothing short of amazing to see the tropical fish up close and personal – in their own home, undisturbed.  What a privilege!

I hope you have been watching BT for the Mexicode word of the day.  So far, I have given out:  MAYAN, SNORKEL, and LAGOON.  There are 2 more words to go.  Good luck!
