While in Riviera Maya, we went hiking, walking to Tulum–the site of a Pre-Columbian Maya walled city serving as a major port for Coba. The ruins are located on 12 meter (39 ft) cliffs. Tulum stands on a bluff facing east and the Carribean Sea. Tulum had access to both land and sea trade routes, which made it an extremely important trade hub. Tulum was at its height between the 13th – 15th centuries.
It was a very interesting place to visit, and great for pictures. We spent about 3 hours there, walking, viewing the Sea, watching the iguanas, and touring the sites. The Mexican adventure continues….

Some more great views of the ocean while at Mexico. Great scenery…great time for relaxing. We did a lot of walking along the beach, and it hardly even seemed like exercise. When you have some great temps, and great things to look at, the time goes by so fast. We will continue as the week goes on…

Today marks one of my favorite months in the world of nutrition. March is National Nutrition Month and this year’s theme is “Eat Right with Color.” Adding a splash of colorful seasonal foods to your daily intake not only gives you a festive meal, but also provides a great deal of nutrients. Including a variety of foods and colors to your diet will help you maximize the nutritional values of your meals. Stay tuned to future posts as we explore the color guide to foods.
