The Cenote

A cenote (pronounced sh-u-note) is defined as a deep natural well or sinkhole, esp. in Central America, formed by the collapse of surface limestone that exposes ground water underneath, and sometimes used by the ancient Mayans for sacrificial offerings. Part of our outing for the day was going to the cenote to swim in the underground cave... before going in we had to take a cleansing shower and then the shaman blessed us before entering
Entering the cenote
jake has to look strong any time that he can...
i really do always find the camera...
It's sad but i have always had to plug my nose when jumping into the water....
