This multi-family field trip was designed around our mutual study of ancient world history.  Joining us was the adventurous Klekar family, from New Hampshire.  We snorkeled, swam with dolphins, visited lots of ruins, enjoyed the markets, cathedrals, and government palace in Merida.  The adults even got to do some kid free scuba diving!
