photos off my broken camera


Jeff chilling in his shelter in our campsite on the beach in Tulúm

The site of Playa Esperanza in Tulúm. Awesome vibes.

Gran Cenote entrance 5k outside Tulúm. Cost: 100 pesos
About to get in the water in Gran Cenote. When I jumped in a tiny fish bit my nipple, it felt like a shock and I leaped out of the water so fast and wore a shirt from then on.

another angle of Gran Cenote

Snake Cenote. 500m from Gran Cenote. All of these cenotes were named by the people who explored and discovered them, all English speaking gringos. All of this development has also happened since 1989. So recent.

Jason deciding if he wants to enter snake cenote or just stand there feeding mosquitos.

In Snake Cenote from the top. Must just be a clever name, we didn´t see one snake down there.

The formations were crazy

Those are tree roots growing down to the water making what looked like an altar. Notice a bit of sun light to the right.

More roots. The water was only 20cm deep and smelled of sulfur.

After this we all had broken cameras and hellish circumstances so no photos available.
After our back breaker jungle ride our gear was worked! Almost as dirty as us.

Thick mud on bike, rider, and notice the can of bug spray! Yeeeeah DEET! The boys don´t feel the deet but I would rather die a year early than go it alone against jungle bugs.

We rock a hotel with a small pool. Yea we some ballers! but we turned that place into a gypsy pirate hang out. Our dirty bikes there and all our wet camping stuff on the walls and hanging, not to metion all our laundry, they were cool with it tho.
This bike mechanic knew his stuff. José was his name and he spoke some English while making me SPOKES! My crappy expensive dt swiss wheels have been popping spokes like crazy.

José also fixed Jason´s $200 titanium bottom bracket and installed a Chinese one with no bearings just grease! We wonder how long it will last. Such a funny change, who knows it may last forever, but hopefully craig will bring a new drive train to Guatemala.
