The sunrose just outside our door and got us out of bed pretty early

Margaret, Sarah, me and Allison at the hotel

We ate here everyday, at Zama's. Sometimes twice

We rented bikes and rode to the Mayan ruins and explored, the sun beating down. More sunscreen please!

We also rented a car and were able to experience the roads being built, literally in a matter of hours

These are pics from the Katrina aftermath in Cancun

The Hat

Yum...fish tacos/salads and pina coladas brought to us as we lounged

Guacamole, chips and margs at least twice a day

and beers

In fact, it was the promise of free tequila and beers that lead us to this man: our Mexican drunk uncle,

or Drunkle as he is now known. He actually had to bribe us to eat at his restaurant and kept us there

against our will by using his loopy Mexican magic and calling us his queens. We were under his spell

What was it about Drunkle that drew us to him? Was he able to defy gravity?

Or physics?

Or, was it all a ploy to hypnotize Sarah and keep her with him always in room numero uno?

Ah Drunkle....he shall remain as mysterious to us as the shrimp he served

Many evenings were spent at the bar that featured swings instead of stools. The two bartenders were Mike

and Dike. Mike made the best salted margaritas on the beach and Dike told us captivating tales of far off lands

Margaret and Sarah

HAM-mock

Since the lights all shut off at 11:00, we had many adventurous walks on the beach. Sometimes by moonlight

Relax, that's just salt on my nose

Long exposure moonrise

The mosquito netting, the waves crashing and the necessary candlelight made bedtime magical

And mornings looked like this

Six days was just right

but I will return someday. Gracias Mexico!
