mexico finale

 

I saved the best for last

Well

I can't say it is the best

but

it was pretty incredible.

We spent a bit of time in this park.

It was attached to the resort so

it was super convenient and 

awesome.

Part of Xcaret was an aquarium...

 

Dolphins

Turtles.

They had so many turtles. It was crazy.

The Park also had an old Mayan village.

 This is a small corn field outside of the hut that made tortillas.

 

and they had a ton of little huts with artisans 

This happened to be Lucy's favourite lady.

She had beautiful woven blankets and bracelets.

My favourite place was the wool shop

but

the lady didn't speak a lick of English

and

I don't speak any Spanish.

there was a lot of polite smiles.

 and surprise surprise

this is also where we found Amy.

As you can see

she also found the bracelet lady.

There was also these guys hidden through-out.

 

There was also a "graveyard"

there were tombs and tunnels.

I got lost

it was a good thing Dusty was able to save us.

 

And then there was the snorkeling....

 

Amy and Mom and I all got to swim with a wild sea turtle

it was pretty amazing.

 

There was this pathway that went along the coral

a sea walk

and the girls were walking and a HUGE

wave crashed into it and they thought they were going to be

swept out to sea

ha ha so 

instead of running to save or comfort them

we took a picture

Crab spotting

 

Supervising

And then the bird exhibit

They all wanted to look like they were holding the birds.

It was a fantastic holiday

one I wish I could do every year

but

probably won't

so 

instead

every February- April 

you will find me at my computer

living vicariously

through the pictures.
