CHACC

If you have never been to the Merida, there is one fact I think everyone should know. Although this is Mexico, there is a whole different culture waiting for everyone to catch a glimpse of. In the state of Yucatan most tourist come to see the big pyramid of Chichen Itza. But one hidden secret is that there is a small town called Xhumal. This small town has one the most beautiful pyramids and mayan town anyone could ever step on. They are well kept and untouched by the world and seem to still carry the sounds that Mayans once lived in. While walking through the ruins you begin to imagine what life was like without any of the stuff we now have. You ask yourself how in the world was it that around 25,000 people lived there. Then at night, there is a light show where you get to experience a story filled with lights set up to illuminate the buildings from sunset to dark.

Now here is where it gets interesting. The storyline begins with the Mayan calling out for the rain God whose name is CHACC. They are in desperate need of the water seeing as it will help take care of those in the city. Now for us, it had been more than sufficiently hot and dry the whole entire day. We didn't expect any rain, and neither did the forecast. But as soon as the actor called out CHACC CHACC CHACC, a drop of rain began to hit our foreheads. RAAIN guys rain out of completely nowhere. It was so beautiful to see a ruined city, the sunset, and lights fill this place. This place carries a magical feeling that helps you believe like those 25,000 people who once lived in these small communities, that there is something bigger and greater for us to understand. Being here has helped me understand just that. There is always something better, and greater to learn and understand.  We can learn in small and big moments whether its teaching the kids, or just at home with family there is always great opportunity to discover more.
