Mexico!

A few weeks ago Marshall and I headed to Cancun for a little vacation! We were there for a week and let me just say it was SO nice to be in the warm sunshine again! We left early Wednesday morning and flew out of pasco and we arived in Cancun about 5 that same evening. When we got to the resort we were a little disappointed because the room they had for us had 2 full size beds instead of a queen or king like we were supposed to get, so the 2 of us slept in 1 full size bed for a week! The room also was pretty old and kind of dirty feeling, when you turned the hot water on in the bathroom it turned a brownish color which was quite gross. In the first day we were there we used the word ghetto to describe the place MANY times. Kinda disappointing. This is the picture the website had, which doesnt look half bad, but the room definitely wasnt this nice.

Anyhow it ended up being ok because we didnt spend a lot of time in the room anyways, and we ended up really liking the resort. It was right on the beach, and the beach was beautiful! It had some yummy restaurants and a nice really big pool. They also had a few shows at night that we went to that were pretty good. The 2nd day we were there we went to the flea market in town. That was an interesting experience. You walk thru the flea market and the people that work in the shops stand out in the hallways and try to get you to come into their shop, they say stuff like my things are almost free and let me have a chance to rip you off. No joke. And once you get into a shop they will do just abouth anything to sell you something. If you show any interest at all they will try to barter with you on the price. Marshall bought a pair of sunglasses there and at first the guy wanted $48 for them and marshall ended up paying about $15. They seriously try to rip you off. At one store marshall was looking at a tshirt and the guy that worked there had the shirt in a bag trying to put it in marshall's hands before we could even say no we dont want it. It was crazy! I was definitely glad to get out of there! Then we walked across the street to look at a mall, where we were approached by a man that asked if we wanted to buy some party cocaine. Oh my goodness! You will be happy to know that we declined. HAHA! The following day we went to Xel-Ha and Tulum. Xel-Ha is an all inclusive place that has snorkeling, wildlife, dolphins to swim with, and much more! We got to go snorkeling which was a lot of fun! It was my first time and I loved it! After that we visited Tulum which is some sncient Mayan ruins right on the coast which was pretty cool too.

Another day we went to town to another shopping plaza where there was an aquarium, which ended up being really small, but it was cool because we got to pet sharks and sting rays! We also got to watch some dolphins perform which was way cool! Some other things we did were, hang out at the beach, hang out by the pool, we went on this paddle boat which was fun but we both got sunburned pretty badly! But it was cool because the water was shallow in spots and we got to see some neat fish. One of the days we took a bus to Playa Del Carmen where we spent some time at the beach. All in all it was a fun vacation the downside was Sydney did not go with us and we missed her so so much! I will post pictures later!
