The ruins are situated on 12-meter (39 ft) tall cliffs, along the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. Tulum was one of the last cities inhabited and built by the Mayans. El Castillo is more beautiful to be seen in person.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Dublin
Cheryl and Damon Alcock in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Dublin, Ireland on March 17, 2013. My husband and I walked in the Peoples Parade along with about 4,000 other people in Dublin, Ireland this year. We carried our NL flag throughout the streets of Dublin and there were several people who shouted to us that they loved NL. One young guy told us he was from Labrodor!

Even in the Dominican you can still find a Newfie. ... Hide full submission
