Melissa, Abraham's niece, comes to clean on Thursdays. I got her started before we headed to Uxmal. Approximately 20,000 people called Uxmal home in 850 AD or so. This particular ruin is in great condition and the buildings are said be excellent representations of the Pu'uc Maya architectural style. Since these Mayas used precisely cut stones rather than plaster, the ruins weather time quite well.
We all climbed around on the ruins before heading to The Choco Story. There are similar museums in Brussels and in Prague but here we are in Uxmal to learn the story of chocolate from the Mayans to the world.
Back home we had hamburgesas from a street vendor in the square. I knew I was happy to have a break from fish. That was the most we'd seen Yadira smile all day.
