The priests' house

Today I went to the ruins of Teotihucan outside of Mexico City. 2.5 hours to Mexico City, and then another hour to the ruins. It was a good warm up for my next few weeks.

Get out your maps, ready for this?

Friday: 10pm leave Puebla for San Cristobal de las Casas

Saturday: arrive San Cristobal 9am

Sunday: San Cristobal

Monday: San Cristobal, depart 8pm for Campeche (couple hours waiting in Tuxtla Gutierrez)

Tuesday: arrive Campeche noonish, try and find a bus outside of the city to Calakmul: biosphere reserve with ruins, think Indiana Jones movie set

Wedesday: Calakmul

Thursday: Calakmul

Friday: depart as soon as possible to Campeche, 3 hours

Saturday: Campeche, depart 6:30 For Merida, arrive in Merida 9pm

Sunday: Merida

Monday: Merida

Tuesday: depart Merida at 3:30 am for Playa del Carmen, arrive 8:30am

Wednesday: depart Playa del Carmen for Cancun 9am, plane takes off 1:30pm for Michigan

I might make some slight adjustments, Rudy says 3 days in San Cristobal might be too much, so I might just shift everything forward, leaving on Sunday night, and spend more time in Campeche or Playa del Carmen. Or Merida.

I have my bus schedule all figured out, except for how to get to the middle of the jungle from Campeche. The website for the hotel I want to stay at says there is a bus that runs there.

I have hostels lined up in each city too, and they all have tours to the ruins surrounding the city and other tourist info, so it will be an action packed trip!

When I get to Michigan I have 4 days to recover before work starts on Monday.
