Back from the dead


This road weary traveler is back in action. It seems like so long since we visited.
I've posted a couple of pics from the Mexico trip where Q & Krissy had their ceremony.
The place was called Azul Sensatori or something like that and is in Playa Del Carmen. Place has only been open a couple of months and wow it was nice. The top picture is the view from our room, quite spectacular. The weather was a little coolish while we were there, at least for some of the time, which was a little bit of a bummer. We really couldn't do anything in the ocean like snorkel or kayak or any of that stuff. But the beach itself was nice, the resort was cool too. I don't think I'll ever be able to watch the Super Bowl the same again after watching it on the beach literally 10 feet from the waves.
The day after we arrived, we went on a trip to some local Mayan ruins, which was extremely cool. This pic is one of the buildings, it was very interesting to see how advanced the building techniques were from so long ago. And this place had the most beautiful beach and clear blue water, unbelievable. Oh yeah, and LOTS of lizards, everywhere!
After the ruins, we hit a place that was a natural aquarium, which was gigantic and had lots of great snorkeling. I got a pic of me swimming just above this fish that was probably 5 feet long and 3 feet tall, a pretty big one. Haven't gotten the film developed yet, I hope it turned out well.
Otherwise, the trip was great. Unfortunately, all of the huge temperature variation took its toll on me and I am just recovering from the back and forth. I was sick as can be for about four days, finally starting to feel better last night and today. Ugh! Anywho, I suspect you'll all be waiting with baited breath my next update on my super boring classes, yawn...
