My husband and I are taking a trip to Tulum - I have a very serious amateur interest in the perColumbian civilizations from South America up into the Southwest US and have been focusing on Tulum and Coba in prep for the trip. It is beginning to seem that I could easily spend our entire stay and then some at the Tulum site alone!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14465718254102189383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10366444.post-83910458800633668512013-03-10T11:36:13.661-05:002013-03-10T11:36:13.661-05:00What a beautiful photo of your house....almost mak...What a beautiful photo of your house....almost makes me a little homesick, except for the snow.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14080938779828043023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10366444.post-16050260972738714832013-03-07T08:03:36.544-06:002013-03-07T08:03:36.544-06:00Nice blog, Jim.
