Yucatan

Like all good and patriotic Americans, we decided to spend a week over the 4th of July in Mexico! We flew into Merida, rented a car and spent time in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, then back to Merida for a couple days. It was a fabulous trip!

At the Fairmont Mayakoba

Cancun

Isla Mujeres. Fun island! We rented a 4x4 golf cart and toured around.

Isla Mujeres. Where Burning Man art projects go to die.

Playa Norte, Isla Mujeres

Isla Mujeres

Fairmont Mayakoba, Playa Del Carmen. Highly recommend staying here.

We had a private boat tour of the canals through the mangroves and cenotes


An alligator napping in the sun. There is tons of wildlife in the mangroves.

Trail to the beach in Tulum

The shell hunter


Lucky shot of a rock in mid-air



Flyin' a kite

bringin' it in. We must have got it up to about 1,000 ft. there was a lot of string on that spool.

In Merida at Chocolate & Roses Hotel

The pool. The hotel is owned by the guy who started the Italian soccer clothing brand Lotto. He combined 2 old colonial mansions into an 18 room hotel. It was the perfect collision of money and good taste.

Searching for tadpoles


Not quite the warm ocean, but still pretty nice.


Samantha did not believe that we went for a ride in a horse carriage after dinner. Here's the proof!

She actually had some fun lifting weights. That's for you Grandma Judi! Lady be fit, lady be strong!
