Hola!

Yesterday was our last full day here in Mexico. We woke up early and headed to the breakfast buffet. Made to order frech toast=yummy! Then, we met up w/ Traci and Jodi to take a taxi to Playacar Palace resort on the beach in Playa del Carmen. Their resort is no where near as cool as ours, but it is on the sandy beach and we spent the morning making sand castles, swimming in the ocean and soaking up the rays. The beach was absolutely empty…so it was like having our own private beach!!

Then, we had some fajitas for lunch, follwed by a few more hours laying by the pool overlooking the water. After we were nice and burnt (I hurt soo bad) we headed over to the Playa market to do a little shopping. By 4:00 we were ready to head back to our resort. We took the shuttle back and got ready for our dinner adventure.

Jeff would probably like to talk about our dinner…but let me just preview by saying we had 3 dinners last night!! I’m stuffed, but am off to breakfast one more time before we head to the airport at 8:20. More later.

P.S….best part of day=Jeff actually danced with me while we were hanging out in the lobby between dinners. It was exciting!!!!

Yesterday was wedding day and it was a great day and a beautiful wedding. The only sad part of yesterday is that we found out all the excursions were booked for today, so no dolphin swim or Mayan ruins. Instead, we plan on heading to a different Palace resort and spending time on a sandy beach instead of our rocky beach.

I’ve posted some photos of Jeff in the lagoon and of the wedding.

So last night I found out something new about Alison, she talks in her sleep. I thought that was pretty funny and couldn’t wait to tell her this morning, but she beat me to the punch with something much much worse. Evidently I was making some kind of wailing cat sound meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooww mewwwwwwwwooowww. On our trip to Alaska, I was making a slumbering bear sound… so stay tuned for next trip for whatever other animal I can imitate. I’m hoping to add a mouse sound to my repertoire.
Today we spent most of the day chilling by the ocean or the pool in lounge chairs, it got kind of cloudy but we made the best of it. Later in the afternoon, Janie and Jason got married and the whole thing took possibly 15 minutes. They got some great pictures – a rainbow even came out, someone mentioned Janie and Jason’s kids were going to be leprechauns because of this, but I wanted to say it definitely wasn’t me.

Hi everyone! I’m finally taking some time to post on here. This keyboard is tiny and I’m ready for breakfast (even though I;m still stuffed from dinner). so I’m gonna keep this short. Here are some pics of our first day. The one of the maze is a view from our balcony…then Jeff and I by the beach next to our resort…and then Jodi, Traci and I.
Been having fun so far. Food is good, it’s great to see e veryone again, and this place is beautiful!!!
