Beam Theme #22
The wood beam or lintel in this picture is over 1000 years old. You can see it in the center under the thatching. I can’t remember what this building originally was. I think the beam was made of rubber wood.
Arch Theme #8
This archway was one of only 5 entryways through the wall into Tulum. The wall ran along 3 sides of the city and the ocean runs along the 4th with a cliff face. The wall was 16ft high and 26ft thick. Very impressive.
Tradition Theme #319
The large building in the back is where they would sacrifice children on the solstices and equinoxes. We weren’t allowed to climb it though.
Sand Theme #267
Now for something a bit lighter. This sand castle was on the beach at the resort. I think some kids worked very hard on it.
