Cancun (no this is not last year's post, we just really like Mexico)

After last year's successful vacation in Cancun, we opted to spend our vacation there again this year. However, this year we had the pleasure of some company. Dana and Paul Boehm (our good friends from our Boston day) joined us as well as Rob's sister Lara and her husband Ben. We had a REALLY great time (and this in spite of some killer first-trimester pregnancy hormones which made me far less emotionally stable than usual) Seriously, we couldn't have picked 4 better people to vacation with. Anyway, without further ado a few pictures....






We rented motorcycles and rode around the island of Cozumel. It was equal parts dangerous and fun!




Here we all are preparing to make the climb up the very steep Mayan ruins of Coba!






















We decided that one of the days we would go on the high-adventure tour. This included repelling down about 30 feet into an underground water system called a cenote, hanging out there a while in some water tubes, and then climbing a rope ladder back up the surface.


As part of our tour, they took us to see this old mayan sage man who prayed over us with a smoking torch.

Kind of you to say that Paul was "feeding" the iguana, given that his offering was completely rejected:). Thanks to you and Rob again for organizing -- that was such a great vacation. Can't wait for round 2 . . . .
