Hasta Luego!

So tonight is our last night and I am soo sad! I can definitely see now how people can stay here for 10 days. I am seriously thinking we should just happen to miss our flight tomorrow. No, just kidding we'll come home, but we had the best time. Tonight I was pondering the thought of living here full time, would you want to? I wanted to for about 5 seconds, and then I remembered how you can't flush toilet paper in the toilet in town, and then I was grateful to be an American!

Let's see, here is how our itinerary has gone for this week:

Monday:
We took the ferry over to Cozumel for the day, we rented a jeep and cruised along the shoreline. We were nervous about this, but it was all good, there was one road for local traffic (hardly any on this deserted highway) and then a dinky highway for us touristas! Beautiful coast, that is an understatement, that is all I can say. We had lunch at this famous cantina, Coconuts, on a cliff overlooking the shore, then stopped at a beach and laid out for awhile, breathtaking AND our favorite part of Cozumel.

Tuesday:
We stayed at the resort and laid out at the pool allllll day, I could do nothing but lay out all day every day, but I do not want skin cancer. (Tyler got a little burned this day so he was a little miserable, poor guy). We are staying at an all inclusive, so food is included. BUT you have to make dinner reservations at night if you want to eat at the restaurants, otherwise its the buffet for you. (The buffet is ok, but we LIVE for the a la carte - they are so fancy, AND the service, is impeccable, seriously nothing I've ever experienced before) We went to the french restaurant and it was... well amazing. I can't find words for the dining experience you get. Five course meal, and it takes two hours to get through it. I LOVE IT HERE - We didn't get pics this night, I could just kick myself.

Wednesday:
Today we went to Xel-Ha (shell ha) and it was very beautiful. It 's like, well Seaworld, but instead of going around seeing animals, you snorkel with them. Nothing like sharks or anything, but just schools of fish and stuff. It was a beautiful day, very hot and humid. I am not looking forward to coming back to 30 degree weather and snow to say the least. You have to understand, we have pretty much lived in swimming suits and shorts while here and it has been fantastic. We love the heat and can't wait for summer now, this has just been a little tease. So we leave tomorrow, and we got some good pictures, so we'll see you all real soon. We do miss being in the states, but I wouldn't mind ONE MORE DAY here!

Viva La Mexico

So yeah, by the way we are in Mexico! We made it safe and sound in case anyone was worried (I think I was the most nervous from all the propaganda going on lately) It takes getting rained in, and sitting in our hotel room in order for me to update the blog. I know, I know I'm lame, but I'm updating it now, so there. Now don't feel sorry for us we are having a GREAT time, it is just rainy today. AND I wanted to have a record of what we did because when we get home, I'm sure I'll have forgotten each day what we did. (I will have to post pics when I get back, I didn't bring our cord with us to put pics on the laptop).

We traveled all day on Thursday and arrived here at around 1 in the morning. We had to change planes twice, but got in 10 episodes of Lost Season 1 on our I-Pods. Things went pretty smoothly, and our broken spanish got us around the Mexico City airport (we had lunch there with our 5 hour layover). We had the best nachos in the world! Our resort is pretty cool, not too stuffy and definitely doesn't suck. On Friday we went into Playa del carmen (we are about a 15 min drive from Playa and 35 min drive from Cancun. There are lots of cute shops and a pretty beach there, hence the name Playa del Carmen I suppose. We just kind of explored on Friday, and I was pretty in my element with shopping!

On Saturday, we went scuba diving. We were very happy with the company we chose to go with, they were very professional and it was only the two of us and our instructor. They had good equipment, and a good boat, you never know because there is a dive shop on every corner in town. We just got certified last week so we went on a very beginner dive. It was fun, we saw an eel, AND a seahorse. I've never been down that long (about 45 minutes) so it was a little challenging. Tyler and I are both so proud of ourselves since it isn't really something we thought we would ever do. It takes control and skill to be able to control yourself underwater while controlling your breathing also. Then we just had lunch at a cantina in town. It is fun trying to order in spanish, and the service is incredible here. We have a much better feel here than we did in Cabo when we went.

And...today, well it poured when we were eating breakfast, and I don't think it will clear up but we are still having such a fun relaxing time. It is thundering and is overcast with very dark clouds.

We have no phones which was a little challenging at first, but is a good thing now. I think everyone should go somewhere where they have no phone service for a week, but definitely bring your I-Pod :) We'll be watching episodes of Lost season 1 now, if anyone asks.
