Mexico was amazing...we had so much fun. The resort was unbelievable, so was the service. When we walked in, before we even reached the front desk, we were offered a cold wet towel, a glass of champagne, and then a chocolate chip cookie (yeah, idk haha) So we went to get lunch, and ended up drinking an entire bottle of champagne in the first hour we were there ( mom did a pretty good job haha ) so we just hung out all afternoon and checked out the resort and what activities we wanted to do. Here are some pictures of the resort:
^^the lighthouse in the backround sits on the point of cancun (where we were) and behind that big balls fountain is the pool where the dolphins live :) so anyone who lives on this side of the the pyramid building have a view of the dolphins right outside their balcony. So obviously, my lounge chair was next to the dolphins almost every day :)
^^So this is the view from my side of the resort..we had an ocean view room :) it was cool because the building was shaped kind of like a trapezoid(?) some shape like that haha.
this is the view from right outside our room.. if you can't tell, it was VERY windy :)
On Sunday, we went on the Jungle Tour (all those pictures are stuck on a CD :( and I can't get them on my computer just yet) but it was really fun because we took these 2-seater speedboats out (so it was just me and mom) and you had to pay a tax to out on the ocean (which was a little weird. they gave us wristbands so that if the mexican guard chased you, you could just show your wristband that you paid the tax.) So we drive out in the sea first, and then you enter this jungle-like thing that's about the water in the middle of the sea, and you drive through this to get to the ocean...then we sped out on the open ocean (which was SO CHOPPY) until we got to a reef where we went snorkeling!! and the drive back was lots of fun too. On Monday was when we swam with the dolphins, and those pictures are already up here. Tuesday we went PARASAILING!!!! but again, those pictures are stuck on that stupid cd. The really cool thing about that was they bring you really low and then dip you in the water! and then bring back up :) it's so much fun. One day I got dragged into a game of watervolleyball which ended up being really fun, except that the old man who had been sitting at the swim up bar for the past 5 hours decided he wanted to be on my team. cool.
OH!!! I totally almost forgot...one morning at the resort, we were walking out of breakfast and I instantly recognized what was going on in the pool. A Mexican LGT course. seriously. It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. They way they carry people out of the pool is unreal. One guard grabs the victim under their arms, and the other guard grabs them under their knees, and they carry them like that! it was so crazy...but here is a picture of a removal using the backboard:
I'm running late for work, so I'll tell you all about the most recent stuff later :)
miss you all.
