Temp: 42+ degrees C

Sunny, humid & Hot

Left Campeche around noon, originally heading for Merida but we had good road and decided to make it all the way to Chichen Itza; got there by suppertime and lucked in to a nice moderately priced spot, the hotel Poxil right in the center of the village about a 5 minute drive from the ruins. We showered, swam in the pool, ate a wonderful meal right at the hotel then headed to the ruins for the evening light and sound presentation at the great temple(El Castillo).

Back in the village, Susie and I went strolling about till almost midnight , blessed with a cool evening breeze.
