Attitude and Traveling

Imagine this:
You are going camping for a weekend with your friends to Grand Lake; however no one can bring cell phones, laptops or IPods!

Things you may be thinking:
- 'Oh no, that's not going to be  fun!'

                    Or

- ' It's going to be so much fun!'

Camping and attitude are like two peas in a pot, they have to be together. When you are getting ready to go camping you need to have a positive mind no matter where you are going or how you are going. The reason why I decided to blog about this topic is because many people will often have negative thoughts about camping and they end up ruining their trip themselves.You could be going to the Bahamas with a positive attitude and having a blast or believe it or not, go with a negative attitude and not have one bit of fun.
The way it works is that when you are happy and excited you enjoy everything and want to do everything. When you are mad, sad, or sick you look at everything from the negative side, making everything not fun.
It is important that every traveler out there remembers to always have a positive attitude when traveling so you can always have an amazing time and a trip to remember.

Cenotes

I lived in Mexico up until I was 12 and the thing that I remember enjoying the most was going swimming in the Cenotes close by, Merida, Yucantan, the city where I lived. In case some of you have never seen or been to a cenote, I will try to explain what they are.

They are huge open water pools that are surface connections to subterranean water bodies measuring tens of yards in diameter. Their groundwater flow rate varies between 3 to 3,000 ft, per year. They began to get explored in the beginning of the 20th century.
Most cenotes are connected to each other, rivers and oceans. Some people believe cenotes were formed by rock dissolution and some believe that they were formed when the cretaceous-tertiary extinction event occurred about 230 million years ago and that they were eventually filled with rain water.

Swimming in cenotes and entering the cold, sparkling, clear water is one of the most incredible experiences however, always make sure that  they have been explored and that you are never alone since they do have their dangers.

The are two types of cenotes, the closed in cenotes and the open cenotes.
