  urlLink These are pictures of Tulum which is an amazing pre-Columbian site on the Carribean side of Mexico. Those handsome dudes are my brother Ben and I. Visiting Tulum was one of the high-lights of my vacation in Mexico in February 2003. When we visited Tulum, it was toward the end of a hot afternoon. The breeze off the Carribean was refreshing and we went for a swim in the small cove to cool off. The ocean side of Tulum is all a cliff except for the small cove which is a white-sand beach. This configuration enabled the Mayans to repulse Cortez when he came along on his raiding mission.
