telchac - 10/28/2000 weekend trip to an all-inclusive resort,
the reef club, with cousin pedro and his family. this happened just 4 days after
tessa broke her collar-bone. it didn't stop her from having fun. the resort is right on the telchac
beach, about 1 hr. northeast from m�rida. on the way to telchac we visited some
mayan ruins called x'cambo. this is a relatively small place, compared with uxmal,
mayapan, etc., but well preserved. mosquitos had a feast with us. they seem to
like "foreign" blood. (more ...)

swam.

a ladder and then into the pool. (more ...)
