IMGP0753-e

We travelled south from Cenote Cristalino heading towards Tulum, the site of a Pre-Columbian Maya walled city serving as a major port for Cobá. It was hot and so we pulled over at the top of the long entrance to "Parque Nacional Tulum" to get something to drink. The roadside cantina was called the Hotel Y Restaurant El Crucero and everyone there was glued to to the lone television to the right. It appeared to be a lawn sports Eisteddfod of some sort, with two teams of men engaged in quaint competition, chasing a synthetic pigs bladder and falling down, acting hurt, in the hope accumulating sufficient performance points to win a coverted rosette. Apparently it was called the FIFA World Cup Final 2014 and, as it was towards the end of the final chukka, we decided to stay and watch. One beer led to another and then to Nachos and then on to more beer. We never got to see Tulum, and headed back to our resort at Xcaret. Oh, and I think the team in white won the game. Viva-Whites-Viva!!
