The Sun, the Sea, the Turtle and the Crab

Today we got up for the sunrise around six.

We took a walk on the beach and were surprised to discover the traces of a turtle which dug a nest, laid the eggs, covered it back and returned into the sea. Judging by the traces, the turtle must have been at least 1 meter, most probably over.

Later, on the sand alley between the cottages, a crab was dragging its shell.

Then we visited Tulum, the ruins. Close to there, some local people dressed up in Mayan traditional costumes performed a ritual, hanging down an unfolding rope while turning.
