We walked around Chetumal.
Matt protected the city from pirate invasion.
We watched an exciting ball game.
Matt wouldn’t let Kerri go down the slide.
Or go skating, even though no one here knows how to skate so she would probably be the best.
Bacalar was full of iguanas.
They have a castle
For the most regal of iguanas.
Can you find the iguanas?
There’s one up here
And one down here
They have cannons
So you don’t want to mess with them
How do the iguanas fire the cannons?
With their very long tails of course!
There’s an iguana near this cannon and I bet you can’t even see it.
We had to flee through the flood to escape the iguanas.
We had homemade tacos for lunch.

We saw an iguana.
It had lost its tail.
It had big claws.
And if you look at it from behind it kind of looks like it’s smiling.
Even though it’s not.
It didn’t like Kerri
But it pretended to smile.
We went to a weird restaurant.
Kerri had orange juice
These guys jump off a tall tower
And slowly fall down spinning.
We went to Chichen Itza again
We walked out to the cenote, which we missed last time
It was a wet hole in the ground.
Then we walked to the observatory
We didn’t spend much time in the middle parts, Chichen Itza is really crowded and full of people trying to sell you stuff these days.
Matt took pictures of Kerri taking pictures
This is the ball court. It doesn’t have any hoops.
We took a picture of this guy last time.
But we didn’t take a picture of this guy
Even though they are neighbours.
Bye.
Look, we were there too!
Even when the background was blurry!
This is Matt in front of the building with all the doves nesting in the roof, which is called the house of the doves.
This is the governor’s house
This is some ruins
These stairs make the most convincing chirping noise we’ve ever heard when you clap in front of them. Kerri tried to clap Jingle Bells.
The big temple makes a chirping noise too. Any solid stone staircase will actually make a chirping noise.
But they think the Mayans may have done it on purpose, whereas all the ones in Europe were by accident.
This is another building that was named by another explorer who didn’t have a clue what the building was actually for.
We stood in front of the big pyramid.
Iguanas stand in front of things too.

Birds stand on top of things

But vultures don’t chirp, so the vulture wasn’t making the noise, the stairs were. They do sound remarkably like a quetzal though.

Iguanas sometimes sit on top of buildings too.

This tree has an eye.
