Chitzen-Itza Jumping!


This cool picture was sent to me by Joan. She has this to say about her jump:

"
I hope you will consider posting my Art Jumping this April at Chitzen-Itza in Mexico! I was so excited to learn about the remains of this fascinating Mayan culture, that I jumped for joy in the hot sun at the sites! :)"

Awesome, Joan. Thanks for the submission!
