On day 5, we went to the ancient city of Tulum. Poor Sean almost wasn't going to go, but he bucked up and decided he would. What a trouper! It took about an hour and a half on a bus to get there, and Sean was not doing very well. Luckily we stopped at a little souvenir place halfway that had bathrooms. It was funny because there was a man standing outside the bathrooms that was passing out paper towels and there was a little tip basket next to him! Haha! Anyway, so we got to Tulum and stuck with our tour guide for a little bit, then we got to go down to the beach and swim in the beautiful water. Sean sat on the beach, but Mandi, Brian, and I went swimming. It was great because it was so hot. But then all of a sudden, a tropical storm hit us and the lifeguard made everyone get out of the water. At this point, Sean was ready to go, so he told us he would meet us back at the bus. The rest of us stuck around as long as we could to take pictures and look around. That's when it started raining REALLY hard. We were almost getting blown over by the wind, and the rain and sand were pelting us so hard it stung! So we decided to head back to the bus. In the mean time, Sean was trying to find a bathroom, but the first one had no doors on the stalls and you had to pay for a couple little tiny squares of toilet paper! The second one.... let's just say it was the nastiest bathroom he had ever seen but it was free so he had no choice. Anyway, so then we get back and we think we've lost Sean, so me and Mandi were looking everywhere for him. But it turns out he was on the bus the whole time lol. The second part of our trip, they took us to a jungle resort where we ate lunch, swam and looked at all the animals they had along the paths. What an adventure!
