Wasn’t thrilled with Joaquin said 8am for snorkeling. I prefer later when the sun it out and the light is better for pictures. We were the first ones on the reef. It was like an aquarium with fish swimming everywhere, instead of hiding in the reef.

Joe speaks good English and was happy to share his thoughts. It was revealing and I learned a lot.

Right in the back of the building, Casa Velero, where I stay. They opened a club, during this year. At night I sit at the end of the turtle garden and Palm Trees, where there’s a nice breeze in the evening, and listen to the music from the club. It’s a mixture of mexican and old rock and roll. We decided to visit the club, since I’ve been listening to the music for free.

Stopped at the burger place, Underground Burger. They’re good, taste like home, but better.

I visited Isla Mujeres in 1979. It was a sleepy little village. I had the best lobster I ever ate at Ciro’s Lobster Pot. The water was clear and there was a small but healthy coral reef.

I remember the night randy and I left. We walked out to a point of the Island where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea. That night I felt that I was so lucky to be where I am.

We took a Catamaran trip. It involved traveling to Cancun to catch the boat.

Heading back to Cancun

The color of the water is so beautiful, one of the most enjoyable parts

Caught the snorkel boat around 2:30, water was a bit stirred up with lower visibility. Captain and Dive Master were helpful. I struggled against the mandatory life vest. I’ve learned in snorkeling and scuba diving, you’re experience is only as good as your gear. got a few pictures…but missed the one of the HUGE barracuda.

The entrance looks a little intimidating, but it worth is when you enter.

Went to My Paradise Beach Club. If you order food and drinks, you get to use their beach chairs and umbrellas.

The food is good and we had lunch.

Had a little entertainment, Acrobatic dancers.

After snorkel, shower and rest, we went to one of my fav seafood restaurants, La Playita. I like the whole fish, they taste the freshest.

My college roomate and her sister arrived. Haven’t seen each other in about 40 yrs. She got out of Happy Shuttle and said, ” OMG, I remember that laugh”

Our first dinner was lobster, but didn’t get a pic.

The next day went snorkeling, the wind is to be low and it makes a difference on how rough it is while your out swimming around in the ocean

Met some lovely couples that we snorkeled with.

Didn’t get many pictures, as my memory card was full.
