The morning and day were so lazy that I wouldn't even get up to take a picture of this beautiful model. Instead, I taunted her so she would come closer and then I took her picture. She wasn't smiling so much after that.
The resort held a special Mayan cultural dance representative of their ancestral heritage. We attended and I took many photos. The area was dimly lit, but I think the blur adds a little bit of action to the photos. This particular dancer is performing the Jaguar worship dance. In Mayan, Jag means rain, so this would be akin to a rain-god dance.
The fire worship dance and ceremony. This dance was performed twice a year during the height of the Mayan Civilization. He must have never listened to his mother, because this is a perfect example of playing with fire. He had his hands, feet, legs and arms all going through the flames at some point and then finished by taking pieces of flaming material out and showing it off and then extinguishing the fire with his hands. It's a good thing the aloe plant grows so well here...
