Cruise 2014 - Cozumel, Tulum House

It was something to walk the same streets as did the Maya of ancient days, and in this case trod the same steps up to a house that was last inhabited 500-700 years ago.  Of course this would be no big deal to someone from Europe, and an even lesser adventure for someone from Asia, but to someone from such a young country as the US of A it's something to see.

This house has a big hole in the middle of the floor.  According to our guide these holes were graves, in which the matriarch and/or patriarch of a generation would be buried.  Yes, they were buried right in the house under the floor, and in fact a skeleton was found in this one during the excavation.
