Equinozio

Siamo andati nel giorno dell'equinozio quando grazie alla perfetta precisione architettonica si proietta l'ombra del serpente piumato Kukulkan.

ecco le piume nn e' che si vedano molto pero ecco il serpente!L'altra foto e' il gioco della pelota, o palla. E' un campo gigante e i giocatori dovevano mettere la palla negli anelli sulle pareti, si quei micro anelli, con le anche. La squadra che perdeva veniva uccisa a mo di sacrificio. wow!

Chichen Itza

ok cambio di lingua. arrivederci all'inglese per un po' perche' e' la lingua di tutti ma di nessuno!
Settimana scorsa siamo stati a vedere le rovine Maya di Chichen Itza col nostro padrone di casa. Nella foto sono Carlos e Alejandro (padrone di casa ndr) e nell'altra foto, fatta evidentemente da qualcuno che non ha la minima idea del concetto di zoom, noi e la piramide(clicca sulla foto per vederla piu' grande!!).

Show

At the end of teh day they do a 2 hours show that is uspposed to explain the story of mexico since the prehispanic era to now. it was one of the most boring thing I ever seen in my whole life. the goo part were the customs (i mean dresses i'm not sure i'm using the right word here) of the people impersonating the pre hispanic epoque.

tigritos!

these little ctas are actually tigers they are small, same dimension as cats, and so cute. i mean they are not babies they just stays like that. i should get one for my sister but then it will probably eat the other 7 cats that she already have and she wont'be happy. on the other side flamencos, the park is crowded and i really like their legs!

turtle or tortoise?

i can never remember which is which. as i'm a great photographer these things look very small but the were huge!well in the last pic you can see it better...there are 4 meters between leo's feet and the turtle so u can work out how big it was. they keep it far from the people so you cannot touch them and they do not get used to humans so they can give it back to the sea eventually. i didn't want to touch them i wanted to jump on their back grab it and swim with them!!!!

Mantas

these were in a big tank of water, impressive animals they are so gracious in the water and they can hide very quickly. they keep evrything hidden but the nostrils and the tie (tile)which i guess they use it to detect enemies...i think they might be venomous but i'm not too sure..

mix

can you see the butterfly?i'm not good at all at taking pictures so u cannot see it very well but it is one of thos that when open the wings looks like a owl. if u concentrate you can see half of the owl head. 2nd is a crocodile and third is a manati, it's a weird animal it's soemthing between a seal and a torpedo. is kind of big.

Jurassic park

Do u remember Jurassic park 1? the part when the dinosaur which look very cute and nice, start spitting a black horrible thing on the fatty guy?! right i felt the same! we were admiring this pretty little iguana which was quite little when this monster jumped toward us and more specifically toward my sandwich!i got such a scare that i jumped a meter away (actually i was just trying to protect my beautiful sandwich hhhehe). ok these are a couple of lizards we met:

Tucan

That's the most beautiful bird ever!!!

Ixcaret

Last friday we went to Ixcaret, which is a bio marine park where you can do snorkeling, scuba diving, see a lot of animals and much more. It's quite nice, as usually is very touristic, and to be honest is kind of a zoo , which i'm not usually a big fan of, but animals are treated nicely and they lived in their natural environment and some of them like the turtles have been rescued and theyll soon go back to their natural habitat. well other won't be so lucky...dolphins are there just to entertain tourist as long as they live, which is sad. ok these are the pictures of the beasts :)

Puerto Morelos

Last week we went to Puerto Morelos a little village quite closeto Cancun. It's quite nice but the only pictures i've got were taken on the beach. it's one of the most beautiful beaches ever. the weather was not too good which was nice 'cause it was not soo hot as usual and i really like the light. AH and there you can see Leo flying too :)

news!!

i've not been putting on pics for a little time because i've been a bit busy!lie lie lie :-) i've been doing nothing in the last 15 days i'm just too lazy heheh ok so here you have the pictures of our last weekends, i hope u enjoy them

storm

tropical storm, very light and short but quite impressive.

Poor lizard

i'm about to lose some friends with this...we killed a tiny lizard! it was an accident it fell from the roof and well, i'm not going to give u the details, it's gone nayway. that's her, amazingly tiny .

well it's in the glass i suggest u click on the picture and make it bigger.

we are really sorry. :-(

add not had...sorry for the mistakes guys, my english is on holiday too :-)

playas

did i put these on yet?
these a couple of very nice playas we saw. they look beatiful don't they? nfortunately they were very turistic, just think that in order to get on the one with the deep blu water you had to pay something like 25 quids... should i had that we passed the gate :-)?

golf caddy

I forgot to put these on!!! this is still on isla mujeres. people go around with glof caddies and we couldn't resist the temptation. it was quite fun and considering that we do not have a driving licence we really had a laugh. thank's god that thing doesn't go faster than 20 km/h!! the second day we rented 2 bikes because we are that cool and that sporty! it was the worst idea ever, we almost died for the heat and for the pain (i'm not going to specify where but u can imagine...). i don't know how we thought about renting bikes with 35 degrees in the shade...hehhe but we survived!

map making

Days are going pretty slowly...I'm am at uni from Mon to Thu so there's no much else to do. is pretty much classes all the time, which is not too bad because people are incredibly nice and the lessons are more a big chat between everybody than a proper class.people are quite open here, after having spent 3 years in Scotlans i'm not so used to so much spontaneity, but is good it's like everybody is more relaxed. i don't know yet if the uni is good or not though. Some classes are great, other are fun but not very usefull and there oonly one that is really boring. saying that today i've just had my geography lesson and we draw the map of europe, how fun was that??? people were asking things like " iceland is in europe?" or "where are the alps?" (what's the capital city of ireland" and so on...it's it's funny how every little thing remind me that i'm not on the same part of the planet....by the by i guess that they'll have a big laugh at me when we'll have to draw latin america... what's the capital of belize? :-)

Friends

Hi guys, i just wanted to say thanks to the people who left messages, it's so nice to read you. we are having a great time here, but we do not know many people yet and sometimes I really miss to have a chat with a friend. i came to realize that something is important only when I don't have it any more...how sad is that? i promise that i'll be more social from now on, that i'll write and that i'll keep your mailbox full with news, letters and pictures! that until the moment you'll get so tired and will tell me to f**k off hehehe

these pics were taken in a turtle sanctuary (if it's how u call it...O_o ) the smallest are 5 days old and the ones in the middle are the ones saw in the cartoon movie nemo hey dude!! actually in this picture they look like a draw don't they?

animalitos

lucertule di tutte le misure
i didn't expect to meet any iguana but apparently there are quite a lot of them. we saw some in the city but these were on the island. they are quite beautiful, many different colors and shapes. but look at their "hands"!

back from the island

we are finally back from our little trip. at the end we stayed one day less than what we thought but it was kind of pricey and we think we so pretty much what there was to see...the thing is that we are realizing that those places are beautiful but they are always crowded, there are tourists every where and we don't really like it... i know we are tourist too but hey we live here! hehehe... well it was great fun we just got a bit tired of tourist groups and reggaeton music.
ok tehre we go with the pics

micisimisimi

queste foto sono per mia sorella. questi sono i miei vicini di casa, vivono sotto una porta di fronte a noi. purtroppo la foto nn rend emolto pero sono 4 gattini piccoli e salterini. non gli ho ancora dato un nome anche se probabilmente verranno battezzati "fratelli tacos". micini miao miaooo

ok now it's a good time to be very very jelous! actually not really because the only time we got there the weather was awful and we had to go back to the city because we thought the rain was going to catch us...but still that's us in the caribbean! and at the botton u can see a wonderful storm...scary!

i forgot these 2! this is the living room/kitchen, is quite nice and cozy but there is not Air conditioning so it can get quite hot! we quite like the flat it's a mixture of styles between granny and holiday house hehehe

these are pictures of our new flat! with Leo in the middle as usual :-) on the top you have the living room and the bathroom and at the bottom is our room, or a part of it.

pictures!

well...even if the face doesn't really say anything nice, i was quite happy. this is our balcony.

We got here!

We finally got here! it's extremely hot and humid, and it's quite difficult to get used to it. We didn't have much time to enjoy the beaches and the nature but hopefully we'll do our first trip tomorrow. we are planning to go to islas mujeres!! i really can't wait i think we'll have a wonderful time. i'm going to try to upload a couple of picture let's see if it works...

we got here!

TIME TO GO!!!

non ho scuse!! I didn't write anything since June!! well not that an incredible lot of things happened...in fact it has been pretty much the same since then... as soon as i finished uni i started working full time and nothing else happened since! how booooooooooring! well but now it's going to be over soon. i've have 2 hours and half left in the office and then i will finish to work...hopefully for a very long time!!!!
we are flying on Monday, or at least i hope so because now with this terroristic thing in the airports we do not know what's goign to happen. If everything goes fine we will be in Cancun by 18.00 on Monday. I can't believe it. I'm excited but also very scared because we are going to start from the beginning again and we don't know how is going to be...well first of all i should really finish to pack my stuff otherwise i won't be able to go anywhere!!!!
