We wanted to do something really special for Ryan’s 13th birthday.  When subtly trying to uncover what he most wanted to do, we were surprised to discover that he wanted nothing more than to float deep down in an underground river!  For whatever reason, this was the experience he was longing for.

At about the same time, our Spanish teacher surprised us with six free passes to Xcaret, since her husband works there.  We couldn’t believe the timing!  And so we surprised Ryan by spending the whole day here.  While there are a ton of things to enjoy at Xcaret, the highlight for Ryan was floating down one of the three freshwater underground rivers.  Enjoy the photos.
