My Walkabout

As we are walking along, our guide Saul explains how the land around the Cenote Maya is sacred to the Mayan people. We are heading to get a blessing from the local Shaman before we can enter the Cenote area….

Wisdom of many years is apparent on the Shaman’s friendly face. As he starts his prayer, the smoke fills my nostrils and an overwhelming sense of peace washes over the group.

We raise our hands in celebration.

After the ceremony, we meet a young Mayan man dressed in warrior attire of old, and a woman in a local Mayan dress worn today. Saul cracks us up with this pose…

as we head toward the Cenote. I have chills….
