Cancun

Rachel, Leah, and Lindsey before going out on our last night in Mexico.
This is a view from our balcony (on the 2nd floor). It was considered ocean view, you had to stand on the railing and look then you could see the ocean!

One of the many pools.
Getting ready to go on our catamaran cruise to Isla Mujeres


Feb 13-16 Rachel took me on a trip with American Family to Cancun. A friend of mine from college, Lindsey also made the trip, she works with Rachel at American Family. The three of us roomed and played together all weekend. We got there on Saturday and it was cold (for Mexico, not for us Minnesotans, the temps were in the mid 60s-70s all weekend) so we stayed around the hotel and relaxed. Sunday morning we got up early and went on a catamaran trip to Isla Mujeras, an island near Cancun. We did some snorkeling, went shopping downtown, had lunch at a yacht club and resort, then sailed back to Cancun in the afternoon. We had wonderful weather all day and the tan lines to prove it. Monday morning we left early for Puerto Morelas where we went on a snorkeling adventure on the Mayan Reef, the second largest reef in the world. We did two stops, the first was mainly looking at the incredible reef, the second was in much shallower water and we saw tons of fish. We got to see 3 huge stingrays, 2 baracudas, 2 see turtles, and many more. It was great snorkeling. Monday night we had dinner with the other insurance agents and their dates then went to show with latin dancers. It was a short trip but we had a lot of fun.
