Tolum  Back to Americas2002 Home Page

This is a shot along the shore looking toward one of the ruined buildings.  The beach and the waters below are typical.

Looking along the shore side of the Tolum ruins.

Arch construction at Tolum.

Looking up the steps at the castle.  On the top right and top left are glyphs.

At the top center of this building are the head shoulders of the "Diving God," coming down to earth, upside down, to receive the offerings of men.

The "Temple of the Diving God" is on the left.  I haven't been able to find an explanation for why it was built crooked.

Here's some guys hanging by their feet.

We are heading to our ferry boat back to Cozumel.  We were not allowed to do any shopping here. 

Since our cruise ship is owned by Royal Caribbean, I assume that somebody along this street has pissed somebody off at Royal Caribbean.  Maybe RC has refused to sanitize shipboard wastes, and somebody along this street has written a letter to the editor.
