Cancun trip 5 of 5

On our last day in Mexico, we went down south to Playa Del Carmen and went on a ATV tour through the jungle. So fun! We were the only ones on the tour, so we had a private tour guide. While in the jungle, we saw some men with large knives and guns! They waved us on.

After the ride, our tour guide took us snorkeling in a cenote (a cave, partly filled with water, with an opening above). Thanks, in part, to my open water training for triathlons, I could relax and enjoy it. Last year, something like this would have been impossible with the anxieties I was dealing with. It was such a neat experience. We saw cool cave formations, fish, a turtle (the tour guide had never seen one there before) and some bats. They flew right over our heads. The water felt wonderful after the hot, dusty ride.

After the tour, we ate at a wonderful Thai restaurant. Then we went over to the beach. The view from this lighthouse was so pretty. After a walk along the beach, we walked down the main street of the town. There were some fun things to see. Ken got friendly with a bronze mexican. We saw some more ruins, did some shopping, sat by a pretty fountain, and saw some interesting street entertainers. After that, we went to a restaurant that was down in a cave! We had another amazing day.
The trip home was long, but we continued to enjoy just being together. We're so glad we decided to get our teeth fixed in Mexico!
