The whole Swine Flu scare actually worked out for our benefit because Cancun was absolutely dead! We felt like we had the whole place to ourselves, although, we couldn't help but feel bad for the Mexican economy. We had so much fun and are so grateful everything worked out and we came home safe and healthy! Here are some highlights from the trip...
Here is the view of the pool area at the resort
And here is the view from our room. We were so lucky to have a room that was overlooking the beach...it was beautiful!
We spent the first day just lounging at the beach
We were able to attend church on Sunday. It was a miracle that we were able to find the church...thanks to Alan's Spanish! He had so much fun being able to speak in Spanish and it definitely came in handy finding our way around the town. Lucky for me they asked me to play the piano, however, I don't think the congregation was quite as lucky! I'm a little rusty!
This is in front of the hotel before going into town for dinner one night
We took a ferry over to a little island called Isla de Mujeres one day. We rented a scooter and drove around the island. It was a blast!
We found a little beach that was absolutely beautiful and there were literally only about 10 people there!
That night we went to an awesome Thai restaurant where you ate on a bed in a hut in a tree! The food was great and how often do you get to eat dinner on a bed in a tree?!
We took sail boat lessons one day and sailed for our first time
That night we ate dinner at a restaurant right out on the ocean
We found this on our way back to our hotel and thought it was pretty funny...
We rented a car one day and drove to Tulum and Xel-Ha. Tulum is a place that has ancient Mayan ruins and we snorkeled, biked, and floated down a river at Xel-Ha. We ate dinner in a cute little beach town called Playa Del Carmen that night.
We loved hanging out at the pool and Alan's highlight of the trip was free chips and salsa at happy hour!
It was a perfect honeymoon!
