Jaguars and local news

We're down to mere hours before our trip. We have to wake in the middle of the night to catch our flight. I'm barely able to contain myself, at this point.

I'm finding this blog is the only thing keeping me sane. When I get excited or nervous, I read more about the area and write more about what I've learned.

I found the local news, titled The Yucatan Times. In it I've found stories about Jaguars found dead on the highways from Tulum to Valladolid, new underground caves found under Chichen Itza that are just starting to be excavated, and a report about how theres 2 million college kids in Cancun right now. Two. Million. Omg.

I have to hope we're far enough south that it won't be as crowded and crazy. Oh, and it's nice to know ahead of time about the damn toll roads!
