Happy New Year. Here are some fireworks I photographed. I hope you are having a good time!
Xcaret Travel Photos Tourism
I wanted to rant about Xcaret Park. It is fun to look at one’s travel photos to remember. This Christmas we are going to be staying at home. The weather and other circumstances do not permit us from going far. Plus, I am in a cozy type of mood. I have everything I need at home. So, there isn’t a big incentive to go out and explore.

The only difference between both versions is the middle part. You start by hearing a prayer from the shaman. You drink a special beverage, and...
