Playa del Carmen.
Went to see the Tulum Mayan ruins today.
Great trip.
Trivia number 1 – When the Spanish were asking who the Indians were when they landed the reply they got was Maya. Which in the Indian language ment “Go away”
Trivia number 2 – When the Spanish were asking the name of the city (even then in ruin) the Indian’s didn’t understand the question. The Spanish drew a map in the sand and when they drew in the swampy area around the ruins the Indian reply was Tulum. Which meant “Stinking land” (since the swamp smelled).
So – Maya Tulum translates into “Go Away. Land Stinks”.
So there.
Dinner was lobster and shrimp, salad and a Trio of chocolate deserts.
