Isla Mujeres
Our hotel (JW Marriott) from the backThere was a particular pool at our hotel that was used only for scuba lessons
Our hotel had close to no beach, unfortunately. Good thing the pool was great.Peter and Kenny in the hotel room

At the entry to our hotelAt the local Wal Mart. Selection wasn't nearly as good as an American Wal Mart. Also - there were tons of sales clerks around, standing in front of the merchandise - the only thing I can think of that they were doing was guarding it.
We have both of these 2 bouncy seats for Peter. They're so much more expensive in Cancun - almost twice the cost.Hanging out at the hotel
Taking a walk down to the main strip. It wasn't very pedestrian friendly.Eric and Kenny went to Chichen Itza
The ruins at Tulum. I love visiting ruins, generally. I have to say that I was disappointed with Tolum. Very crowded and touristy, PLUS there were rope barriers set up very far away from what you were supposed to be viewing, so you couldn't even get close. Not at all like Turkey, where you could crawl over everything.
These looked like old souvenier stores
Kenny really enjoyed finding the lizards
The beach at Tulum - very crowded
A guy repairing the mortar on one of the pyramids. The fact that this was happening so casually made me suspect how much of the original all these ruins contain
Interesting fungus on the logs
