This is our beautiful beach! I'm telling you - travel during a pandemic is the way to go!! We shared the beach with very few people, still got to do almost everything we wanted (all the mayan ruins were closed because of the flu), and even got upgraded from a 4 star hotel to a 5 star hotel because they had to close hotels due to too few guests. Darn it!!
Yes!! We went parasailing!! I picked these 2 pictures to show you because you'll notice we're holding hands - and it wasn't because I was scared! I really like this guy!! And the picture below shows when they slow down, they dip us in the ocean then pull us right back up. It was a blast!!
Our mexican 'son' Francisco! Such a sweet young man who was excited because he turns 25 in June which is when we officially celebrate our anniversary. He took great care of us and directed us to the perfect activities. Our only regret is we wish we would have taken a Book of Mormon to give to him. Do you think I could send the missionaries to 'Francisco in the travel shack across from our hotel' ???
No, this is not Mike after too many tequilas. But this little guy was cute!! He stole my camera, looked in the lens and snapped his own picture. Of course his owner then told me "$5 for picture of monkey!" So how can I resist when they're so blasted adorable?!?
Beautiful scenery everywhere we went....
These pics are all from XelHa (pronounced shel-ha). It's a beautiful preservation park that you can go snorkeling, wander around the forest, tube down a lazy river and eat to your heart's content. I haven't developed the underwater camera, yet, but we saw so many fish in so many colors, and even followed a stingray!!
These animals were all over our hotel grounds. They're the size of a small dog or large cat. They look like huge guinea pigs. I asked one of the hotel people what they were and he told me 'little animal.'' (Really???) Later on, at Xel-ha we saw a sign that said they were zerake (that's phonetic, not the real way to spell it- tsereque). 
This little guy's wife should have taken better care of him!!! Yes, he was really that pink. This was our last full day there and Mike wanted to get a little more color. Do you think he got it?? He's ok, though. Lots of noxzema, and cold cloths while sitting under the fan, and he has his color, without the pain!!

Natalie, it looks like you had so much fun! We stayed in Playa Del Carmen with our kids 2 years ago and it was awesome! We just got back from a Mexican Riviera cruise and it was so fun! Be prepared for everyone to ask you if you brought the Swine Flu back with you!! Just tell them YES and then cough on them!! LOL
Looks like you both married wonderfully up! Congratulations, I don't know of two sweeter people, and a more wonderful place to celebrate. You are great parents. Happy Mom's day Natalie!
