I stopped in Mexico on my Caribbean cruise, and the main thing I wanted to do was climb an ancient Maya pyramid. After a long walk through the jungle, we came to Ixmoja, the largest of the Nohoch Mul Group of pyramids. At 138 feet tall, it is a long climb to the top, and a steep one as well. They have a rope going down the middle of the steps for people to hold on to. I hunched over and kept my hands on the steps. On the way down I went one cheek at a time.

When I arrived in Cozumel on the Norwegian ship Breakaway I headed for the small airport. I was headed to Chichen Itza for a 45-minute airplane ride instead of a 7-hour roundtrip bus ride.
