When in Izamal...
On Sunday, students got to explore Izamal, one of the magical towns of Yucatan. We visited the Spanish constructed convent and a Mayan built pyramid. Some students climbed the pyramid and were able to enjoy a pintoresque view of the city. Lastly, we got to wander the market and indulge in refreshing juices, ice cream, or fruits!
