Okay - here's a wrap up of our wonderful week in paradise:
- Snorkeling in Half Moon Bay (right outside our hotel patio)
- Snorkeling in Yal Ku Lagoon
- Swimming at the beach in Tulum
- Great Mexican food (including grouper, octopus, lots o enchiladas, tequila, salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole, Dos Equis and Corona!)
- Lounging on beach chairs under palapas
- Snorkeling in Akumal Bay
- Climbing up a huge Mayan temple at Cobá (higher than the one at Chichén Itzá!)
- Getting safely down from the huge Mayan temple at Cobá
- Swimming in a super cool underground cenote
- Butchering "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" at karoke night at La Buena Vida
- No major sunburn (just a little pinkage and 2-3 more freckles)
- Enjoying the Dogs of Akumal romping and playing everywhere
- Watching the entire Academy Award broadcast at an event in the town of Akumal (complete with buffet and red carpet)
With two digital cameras (one made for underwater photos), we took nearly 800 photos (gotta love those 2GB memory cards!).
We had great luck -- our transportation (airplane, taxis, collectivos, etc.) were there when we wanted them, and our hotel was a good walk to and from town (getting a little exercise helps when eating and drinking like we did!). All in all, a great vacation!
So now I return to "normal" again. (Sigh.) That's okay... it's work that allows us to occasionally skip town and swim in coral reefs!
Photos are being organized and highlights will be posted soon!
