Cancun

It's been a while since I last posted, but here are some of the pictures from our recent venture to Cancun. Sorry there aren't more words, but this photo journal has a strict, "no cute" policy (unless it occurs in a picture). I would like to add that all these were taken with the point and shoot, not my big camera, so any deficiencies in the picture (both qualitatively and aesthetically) can be attributed to that (that's a pretty powerful cop-out isn't it?).

Day 1 - Hanging out at the beach

A view from our beach

This might be my favorite picture from the whole trip.


Day 2 - Xel-ha ecopark

This was Christine's first time out of the country and she was fascinated that they would have a Sam's Club in Mexico. She felt the need to take pictures of everything American in Mexico. For the sake of space I've omitted the others including, BurgerKing, Office Depot, Starbuck's and Converse store. If you'd like to see them, I'll send you a copy.

Christine and me "snuba-ing" at Xel-ha. Christine's eyes tell the story. The entire time we were underwater her eyes were this big. Nervous or excited, you be the judge?
Fish feeding station at Xel-ha. Ask Andi about the details.
Christine made me post a picture of Dory.

Day 3 - Chichen Itza (not Chicken Pizza)

Everyone listening to Victor at Chichen Itza

The man of the trip. Thanks to him we were able to go on this amazing trip (not you Rob, but you're not too bad either).

Day 4 - Cozumel

Snorkeling off Cozumel, taken by our fearless guide Abram. He opened a bottle of beer with his eye! No joke, saw it myself.

Day 5 - Trip Home

Departing view from the front lobby of our hotel. Maybe the saddest day of my life.

How do you know when it's been a good trip?

When you just can't keep your eyes open any longer. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa.
