Cancun and the Yucatan Peninsula!!

Flying out of the country for the first time since our marriage in December 1979...nearly 40 years ago!!  The trip started out in the planning stages in March of this year, when Kristy was going to be the only one home for Thanksgiving since all the other kids would be at the in-laws for Thanksgiving.  Well, things really changed!!  Kristy got MARRIED the week before our trip...her then-friend was now her husband...and we had tickets for THREE!!   We ended up getting a 4th ticket, but Nate's flight was a day behind ours...so we had our flight and first day in Cancun with Kristy.  

 We went to church in Cancun (I even got to play the piano since the chorister looked around and couldn't see anyone to accompany...so I stood up, our eyes met and lots of communication took place without any words!)  After the meeting, we took some lunch fixings and found a beautiful beach...everything was picture perfect, except it was Sunday and we wouldn't be going swimming...

 

 

An the beach in Tulum...water wasn't like Cancun...more muddy looking... Went to some ruins in Tulum...


 Xel-ha was a lot of fun...little zip line, lots of snorkling, and buffet took the whole day!

 On Wednesday, we met up with Kristy and Nate at the Temple in Merida, Yucatan Peninsula.

   

Went to lunch together then headed our separate ways...

 
 Interesting sites on the way to Valladolid...

Some great looking pastries, but not sure what much of anything was...so opted for some things we knew...

Then a snorkeling trip in Puerto Morales...on Thanksgiving Day... with turkey slices sandwiches and Mexican Cheetos for our Thanksgiving Dinner...definitely memorable!

 Our last two nights of our trip were spent in Cancun at a beautiful Airbnb.  Great way to top off our memorable trip!

DELICIOUS pizza on the Hotelera Zona...and dancing by ourselves to some Jack Johnson music...delightful!

 Our final day was spent doing a tour of Ek Balam...some impressive ruins

 

 The cat who thought she was a dog...*_*

Flying home...at last...with Kristy AND Nate!!!

 

 Ahhhh, HOME, at last!!

FINALLY!!!  Clean water I can drink from a fountain!!

Glad we went, but more glad to be home!!
