Went snorkeling in acouple cenotes with Jess, One was a sinkhole, and the other a cave. Both had fresh water. The ground in the Yucatan peninsual is mainly limestone which was carved out by water. The whole area has a crazy network of underground rivers, great for high quality dihydrogen monoxide as well as expploring either on foot in try ones or in scuba gear! Can`t wait to try that.
There is a tree called a Pich (pr. Peach) that has roots as long if not longer than the tree is tall. The roots go all the way through the ground into the cenote and you can see them floating at water level and a few inches deeper. The astute reader may ask...well how does this tree get water while it is burying its way 4 or 5 meters into the ground? The answer is surprising...It has other roots dangling off the branches that absorb moisture from the air. They must also help if the water table drops and the roots need to grow a poco more.
There are also many iguanas everywhere. I think they are the central american version of the rabbit. Anyone wanna mate like iguanas?
