Today was awesome! After our Spanish class, we biked to Cenote Escondido and Cenote Cristal with Nelly and her family. Nelly's family doesn't have a car. They get around town on their tricycle and use public transportation when they need to go further. Every time they take it out of their fenced yard, they have to turn it on its side to drag through the gate. Mauricio is the primary tricycle rider and he doesn't seem bothered by the fact that the bicycle is way too small for him and that the seat tilts to the side.
Cenotes are natural sinkholes that form when the limestone bedrock erodes and collapses exposing the groundwater. Cenote Escondido (hidden cenote) looked like a pond with a small cliff on one side. The very clear water allowed us to see the bottom of the cenote when snorkeling. There was a rope swing on the side with the small cliff. It was fun swinging into the water.
