Built on the cliffs as protection and in the sea is the 2nd largest barrier reef as extra protection.
Our guide knew just when to say good-bye...just as the clouds started to open up.
I wasn't going to leave without a photo of the cliff side. Luckily for me, the wind was blowing in the right direction~
From the tram on the way back.
I don't know if the trees grew like this or they were all trimmed at the trunk, but they were quite stunning.
Off to Puerto Morelos again. The storm clouds were brewing.
A seaside restaurant with great food.
The 4 of us.
Waiting for a handout.
You know you aren't in Kansas (uh....Oregon), when you see a sign like this at the airport! 2 hour layover in Houston, TX.
I always forget how much I miss the palm trees of CA until I see them again.
I'm so sorry, but this is just one of the never-ending swimming pools at the resort where we stayed. The water was warmer than my bath water!
This little guy was just scurrying around the pool side.
And the pools let to the beach. The place was just about empty due to the swine flu scare.
We did our best to block the view of that polka dot bikini from hubby, but it didn't work.
I decided to have a pedicure since I'll be in sandals for the next 2 weeks. I went to the beauty college for it as well as a bikini waxing! OMG, that was a first, (no photographic documentation!)
I thought the tray of lotions looked like an artist's palette.
The young gal was a hoot!
The finished product.
That Pepto Bismal pink building in the distance is our one and only ice cream shop in town... 'been there forever. That's where I'm headed in this photo.
I made a bed with our Plant Engineer (custodian), that the new playground equipment would be up and running before the school year got out and kids would be playing on it. He bet me that it wouldn't be up until NEXT school year. The pay off.....ice cream of choice.
I decided I couldn't eat an entire banana split so I settled for a hot fudge sundae.
My bud, Eileen. The minute school was all-clear of kids, I caught her breaking the rules as she cut across the parking lot. She's such a kid at heart.
