A little slice of the good life in Mexico - it all happens (well, a lot of it anyway) in the evenings. Here are some snaps taken while we were in Merida. The best part? It's always free (and sometimes spontaneous) - so there are always plenty of people to join in the fun :)
Yucatan folk dancing...
... and the crowd enjoying the show
Some gentlemen dressed up to re-create what the ball game might have looked like... No human sacrifices involved, however
The ball was hit with the hip, knees, elbows and shoulders
Receiving a blessing before the game (which was considered sacred)
Looking fearsome
And... let's light the ball on fire and use some hockey sticks...?
People lining up for traditional healing after the ball game
Time for a little dancing in the street!
