We started our day by driving to the Coba ruins. These are the tallest ruins in Yucatan!! We all thought about climbing these stairs, but common sense prevailed and we instead, enjoyed watching other people climb to the top.There was a ballcourt at Coba, but it was much smaller than the one at Chichen Itza. The ring hole was much larger here too.Another characteristic of Coba is that the limestone is softer here, so the stones needed to be make overall smaller to make it easier to stack them.I saw this spider web while we were looking at the ruins and I thought it was intricate and amazing!!This wild turkey was walking among the ruins and I thought he was beautiful!! I have never seen a turkey with so many colors!!This is a view of the main Mayan pyramid at Coba. There are many other pyramids in the area that have not been excavated.To make it easier to get around among all the Coba ruins, we were chauffeured around the grounds in sexy tricycles!!We next drove to the Spider Monkey Reserve and started walking through the jungle looking for monkeys. Our guide discovered a family moving through the canopy above us. I learned that it is very difficult to photograph monkeys in the wild because they move around very quickly!!Here is a baby spider monkey looking at me with big eyes!!This guy was moving quickly through the branches!!They were busy eating and you can see food all around this guy’s mouth!!This is the mom spider monkey with her baby nearby!!
