Progresso


When our cruise arrived in Progresso, Mexico, we decided to take an excursion that took us to some Mayan ruins and then to a beach. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.


The Mayan ruins basically consisted of the Temple of the Seven Dolls (there were 7 dolls in it when it was discovered) where the sun does something nifty one day a year and a freshwater pool that was shallow on one side and very, very, very deep on the other. The tour giude on the bus told us a little about the ruins, but focused mostly on trying to preach about Jesus Christ. Now don't get me wrong, I love me some Jesus. But I wanted to learn about the ruins. The tour guide at the ruins told us basically what I told you above - 7 dolls were discovered in the temple and we could drown on one end of the pool.
The beach was. . .a beach. It was nice and warm, but quite rocky. But we could see our boat in the distance and the drinks were free!
