so where are we going today today we're going to chicken chicken chicken pizza
can be really expensive airfare but did you know that you can catch a cruise
ship out of Galveston Texas and what's so great about leaving from Galveston
Texas it's only 45 minutes south of Houston Airport which could be a lot
cheaper than flying into Florida well mr. martini night we did just that
we caught a cruise ship in Galveston Texas and we went all the way down to
the Yucatan Peninsula where we explored the Mayan culture
let's go take a look so many cruise lines leave out of Galveston and it's
this wonderful Harbor that has many places to stay and many great
restaurants to eat at and when you go there make sure that you check out the
Strand and what's wonderful about Galveston Texas is that the bay is on
one side and the ocean is on another so you can have the best of both worlds
the hotels are absolutely wonderful so make sure you check out our video all
about the hotels and the places to eat in Galveston but one of the greatest
things about Galveston is its rich history
there's so much to see beautiful mansions The Strand and it almost has
this New Orleans feel to it
if you take a cruise down to the Yucatan make sure that you've booked your tours
through your cruise line because if you booked them through your cruise line
they're always waiting for you when you get into port and then we also usually
wait for you in case you get delay coming back so when we got into Cozumel
a fan was waiting for us to take us to this wonderful Mayan village where we
got to experience all parts the Mayan culture this mind village was very
similar to what you would see and something some kind of colonial village
on the east coast of the United States but instead it's all about the Mayan
culture while we were there they demonstrated the Mesoamerican ballgame
there's actually been having a resurgence in Mexico recently
and then there was the key like AC my favorite part
don't cut tequila tasting I can't wait after the demonstration we
have this wonderful buffet lunch of Mexican food while they entertained us
with a wonderful heritage dance our next part was progresa Progresso is important
that was pretty much built just for the crews lives as we got off the boat a
very nice bus was waiting for us with to tour guides
in our two and a half hour drive the tour guides gave us a history of the
mining culture and the ruins as we as we departed to go to Chichen itzá citzen
itza is one of the most famous Mayan ruins in Mesoamerica and you've probably
seen tons of pictures of it in the past
when we arrived at chichen itza we were escorted by one of the tour guides they
give us headphones to where we could hear what he was saying as he gave us a
tour of the ruins i suggest you bring an umbrella it is really hot here I'm here
in February and I am frying umbrellas a really good idea so this is the arena
where they used to play their ball games and the winner would elevate in his
status and be executed as a human sacrifice oftentimes losing his head so
they put the ball through those rings to score
I'll go across there's one exactly the other side of the arena we care when I
was 16 and climbed up this you can't climb up it anymore they used to be a
chain down the middle if you look at this side you can really see how steep
it is and the hard part was coming down more so than going up but I can't
believe that I climbed that thing when I was 16 a window it now but they don't
allow you anymore so make sure you check out our videos all about Galveston will
cover hotels and food and great things to see while you're there
Galveston is considered one of the most haunted towns in the United States and
why because it's experienced so much tragedy it was a horrible hurricane that
hit Galveston in 1900 and devastated that
down and people think so make sure you check out our video
