Part two of our Mexico adventures video blog takes us (a wild bunch of Krishna teens on break from college) snorkeling in the waters above the awesome coral reef off the island of Cozumel. Next we trek through the junge some more on our way to Valladolid, and cenote X-Keken, best described as swimming in a cave. (Apparently there are thousands of these swimming holes inside caves across the Yucatan peninsula. The Mayan people believe these to be holy, the "mouths of the gods.") Last on this episode, we visit the famous Mayan pyramid city of Chichen Itza. Stay tuned for more videos from our trip. Visit our website for live webcasts: Krishna.com

This past winter, two dozen of us took a school bus from Florida to Mexico on an unforgettable adventure. The first video blog in our series shows us traveling down the pot-holed Mexican highway from Nuevo Laredo to Monterrey at night (don't drive at night in Mexico!). We stop by the Mexico City Krishna temple, take in a performance by the Narahari reggae band, (a thousand miles later) ramble through ancient Mayan tombs in the jungle at Palenque, and swim in pristine rainforest cascading waterfalls at Agua Azul. More to come as we edit the videos...
