Mayan pyramid in Yucatan. It is a must see if you like Mayan
history! You should come on your next vacation; but let me

bring your sunscreen. We have (8)__ been to Tulum (9)__
the Mayan ruins, an experience that you should not miss. If you
visit this place, the ruins (10)__ your breath away.

Have you ever tried Mexican food? Well, we (11)__ some time Mayan Ruins in Tulum

Mexican restaurants with really good guacamole. We have become Mexican food lovers! I am sure you
want to know (12)__; let me tell you, not all Mexican food is (13)__ as you imagine.

I've already swum with turtles in Akumal, but we have not taken the whale and dolphin watching tour

I haven't bought any souvenirs yet (16)__ I haven't had much time to do it. But I promise I will buy
some for you! How about a huge sombrero?

Really wishing you were here with me.

Love,

Margaret
