Today is Sunday, our second day in Cancun and we have reached the point of total relaxation! The sun, cerveza and service is plentiful!
After a long day of travel on Friday, we headed straight to the bar on the beach and enjoyed a couple cervezas and the stories of the local bartender. It was early to bed so we were ready for a full day of relaxation by the pool.
Saturday started with breakfast in our room, enjoying the sun rise and then down to the beach by about 8:00 for a long walk. We spent all day down by the pool, in the ocean, and at the pool bar. We ran into a few ladies from Portland who were on our flight so we shared some stories over a Mai Tai. By 3:00 we were pretty red from the sun, so it was time for a siesta. We went to a local mexican restaurant (La Distilleria) for a great dinner. Chris had steak and I had fish. Excellent service.
Sunday we started the day with a long walk on the beach at 7:00 and then had a mexican breakfast at the hotel. We decided to stay out of the sun today and headed into town for some shopping at the local markets and take in some of the culture. Everyone wants to show you their crafts and goods they have for sale. We met some nice people while having a cerveza (imagine that) and the cutest little boy came over and gave me a kiss on the cheek. We got back to the hotel just in time for a siesta - I could get used to this :-)
We are so excited to be here and to be able to just relax together for a week. This is Chris´ first vacation in many years so he deserves this time.
I hope all is well with everyone at home. We are thinking of you and will talk to you soon.
