Caitlin and I on the bus.. we're getting better at this! We're sitting in our favourite spot: the back! We love it because the bus drivers go over the speed bumps super fast and so we fly off our seats every time we hit one! And we never know when they're coming up so it makes the bus rides more fun haha.
Typical bus in Merida. One day I want to just start singing and dancing like in Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants =)
Might be the funniest picture of the trip. We wanted to look out the window but it was raining so we couldn't see anything. Then we tried to open it but it was stuck so this was the result of that attempt lol
The first thing we did when we got there was explore this giant cathedral that we saw. Pretty much everyone in Mexico is Catholic so there are a ton of Cathedrals everywhere. This one is the biggest one that we saw though.
We also walked around the centre plaza for a bit while we waited to meet up with some of our friends. There were so many birds there! I though of you Kennie... you would probably die.
Centro is so beautiful
Freaking so many birds
They were quite scary
We thought we would run through the birds and take an epic picture but I don't think even one bird moved #fail
This was only a small group surprisingly
They all moved together and when one flew, they all flew and it was way scary.
It is secretly a devil
They have these sillas de amor (love chairs) all over the centro and they are great. Obviously Caitlin and I are the cutest couple around.
Ryan and I decided that Cecil needs to put these all over BYU. They have a great chastity line down the middle made of stone and they're perfect for talking in!
My friends Bradley and Tom. They live really close to us so we always travel with them!
Aaron! *please note the couple in the background
Hahaha I couldn't resist. You know me and stalker pics ;) Apparently it's quite easy to cross the chastity line but still put the chair to full use.
Marie is so cute! She loves Mayan culture and history so she was explaining her favourite legend to us and got really excited about it.
Tyler and I! We had to take a pic for Matt and Trevor... Look guys! We're friends now =)
We also went to Colon. It's a famous ice cream place in el Centro. We had to try it so we stopped there for a snack and it was really good! I had helado de guanabana. There isn't an English word for guanabana because it only grows in the Yucatan for a couple months a year. Obviously I had to choose the weirdest flavour though and surprisingly it was actually my favourite flavour of all.
After we finished our ice cream break we walked down a random street and there were so many cool buildings there. I love all the bright colours! We also found a random museum so we went in there too and there were a ton of huge murals all over that apparently one guy painted all by himself!
After a great evening at Centro we went back home with our roommate and had dinner with our family. It was a great day! I know that we'll be back at centro many more times!
There was a beautiful sunset tonight. The sky was so gorgeous and bright!
