1..2..3.. ..102!

I've passed the 100 post mark! I feel so special, with so many posts! And yes, I am being a little bit sarcastic, as I didn't really intend to make a big deal until I got to a nice number like 1000. However, I found the place I want to go in celebration, and had to have something to celebrate.

It's not that I've only just discovered the Yucatan Peninsula - I've been desperate to see some of the Mayan ruins ever since studying their number system as a special math project in 6th grade (I think we learned a little bit about their culture somewhere in there as well), and after having come across a number of different articles about the Yucatan while trying to research the amount of crime in and interesting facts about Guatemala (in exactly that order), decided that was the place I had to go. While somehow avoiding the really touristy areas.

I know other sources would be likely to give a much better listing and summary than this article, but it's always nice to have a few different popular sources to start from and see where the other sources match. And with the supposition that by the time I actually make it to that part of the world I will actually remember this post and the article will still be available, it seemed entirely prudent to put it up.

Also, I couldn't leave all my readers in the dark about this beautiful piece of land and history. You're coming with me to celebrate! Right?
