Day three end...

We rented snorkel equipment for the girls today, for the rest of the
week, so we did a little snorkeling off the beach. Beautiful calm
night and awsome sunset.

Now we're cooking spagettii in our tiny kitchen. Nathan and I are
trying to set up another dive for tomorrow - it's addicting!

We had a great time divi h today! Whew! We went 60 feet on our
first dive and 40 feet on the second. The highlight was going through
an underwater cave! Lots of fish, and no problems. Nathan and I
both thought it was easier and more fun than we thought it would be.

Came home and took the girls to lunch at a cool place on the beach
called maya corona.

Mexico day two

Scenes from day 2

Since scuba was cancelled, we decided to drive around the island
today. We took on some cool sites, did some bargain shopping (Nathan
got a shark tooth necklace, Julia got a torquise necklace, Bev got a
mask, and I got Dos Equis), had lunch at "coconuts", and toured a
Mayan ruin. Whew, we got back to our place and relaxed a bit, swam
and had cheese and crackers for dinner - too many tacoes already!

We're crossing our fingers the weather gets better tomorrow for scuba!

Scuba is cancelled due to weather :(

End of day 1 in cozumel

We had a great first day in Cozumel, the weather was great and we
spent the day getting to know the nearby area. We did a lot of
snorkeling, Nathan and I got very burned - dumb. The girls got a lot
of reading in and we took walks down the beach. Just down the beach
is Paradise Beach which has all kinds of cool water toys. We're
going to go there one day for sure. We ended the day with a trip into
town, and dinner in the main drag, watching all the hu-bub. We
watched a street artist paint some cool pictures, and Nathan bought
one with some deer in it.

Today is scuba day! Can't wait to get our first major dive under our
belt. Very nervous about going too deep with Nathan, but I paid extra
to have a dive master "hold our hands" the whole day today. I wasn't
comfortable when I booked the dive that they would keep us shallow
like I wanted.

Weather is a bit iffy. Cloudy and windy, hopefully it will improve!

Beach scene's, Sunday....

Morning coffee

As usual, I'm up a couple hours earlier than everyone else. The crew
was very tired yesterday after our long day. So far everything is
great, the condo's better than expected and it's great being right on
the beach. Nathan and I have been snorkeling in the reef right in
front of the room! We've seen lots of fish and three stingrays
already. The girls have been getting into their books already!

We're very glad we got a rental car, because this location is somewhat
remote so we expect to be driving quite a bit into town. We got a
beaten up old jeep. Which is pretty funny. The wheels seem like they
are going to come off!

All for now! The picture above is my view thus morning!
