Just a lazy morning

Breakfast this morning was fresh fruit, OJ, cranberry juice and juevos rancheros. Pretty good for room service pre-ordered the night before and delivered at the specified time. Today we go to Chichen Itza, rhymes with chicken pizza but pronounced Chee-Chen Eet-zah. According to the itinerary we will first stop at Valladolid and then make our way to El Castillo(used synonymously with Chichen Itza because it has the main temple). I'm not sure yet what the itinerary calls for but we are supposed to be getting back pretty late. Depending on how late we get back tonight I may not have time to post pictures but I will try to give a brief synopsis of the days events.

The reason we get back so late is because we will be staying for the "Sound & Light" show. Apparently, they light up the Temple and grounds with big colored spotlights and talk about ancient Mayan civilization. I've heard it's kind of corny compared to 21st century standards but my main motivation is to be on the grounds at sunset. Sunrise and Sunset offer beautiful soft light at an angle that not only highlights shapes but also casts a warm contrasty glow on everything. My hope is to take lots of pictures around this time.
