The last port we visited was Costa Maya, Mexico. The exchange rate here is: $1US dollar to 10.90 New Mexican Peso. One thing we noticed about this part of Mexico compared to Guatemala and Belize is that is is very flat.
Here is the light house as seen from the ship.
Colorful building mark the costal business district of Costa Maya.

You are met by these colorful residents ready to take your picture in front of this sign and temple with this scantily clad man and two well clad women. I just wanted the sign that said welcome to Costa Maya. 
There was some sort of mix-up and one of our busses was half an hour late. It was a long hot wait in the Mexican sun. One older couple decided not to take the excursion. {photo by my father-in-law} 
Some sights on our 2 hour bus ride out to the ruins.
There is a taco shop ... bet it's good.
Finally we arrive at the ruins, pronounced: ko-hawn-leech. After a quick potty break, we head down the road and are met by some very loud noises. Howler monkeys! Our guide related a funny story about the moneys and then we quick went to check them out.
It was quite the hike to find the noisy creatures.
See em? There were several of them up in this tree howling for all they were worth!
