After our fantastic snorkeling adventure, we headed back to rinse off and change for our next adventures. After a quick change, we were on our way to Playa Del Carmen for lunch. It is amazing to me how each town is so completely different from the next. Playa Del Carmen is definitely an exciting town full of action. Not the type of place that you may find totally peaceful and relaxing, although their were people getting massages on the deck we were having lunch on. This is definitely more of a people watching, party beach. If this is what it is like at 3pm I can't image what it is like at 10pm.
After a wonderful lunch, we were on our way to Xcaret. Xcaret is an eco-archeological park on 12 acres of the Mayan Riviera. Just about anything that you could possibly think about doing or seeing in Mexico is here. We came for the show on the Mayan Culture, but we had a couple of hours to walk around the park before the show began.

After spending some time walking these impressive grounds, we entered the Colosseum for a wonderful performance by some very talented locals. The performance started with the beginning of the Mayan culture, up to modern day living. My dad and I have always loved to go to performances like this, and this one was another great show.
We started this day waking up in our beautiful villa at Villas Flamingo on the beach. We spent the morning and early afternoon snorkeling the lagoon in Akumal. We experienced a little taste of the Playa Del Carmen scene, and we explored the beauty of Mexico and it's culture at Xcaret. Now it is time to head back to the jungle and get some rest. Tomorrow is our last full day in Mexico and I am starting the day of with another incredible massage.
