Vacationing in Cancun


We vacationed in Cancun this week. Beautiful coast, white talcum sand, blue clear skies (with one exception cloudy afternoon that only made the other days even more special) and a nice resort. The kids had a great time. For them swimming, eating poolside, jacuzzi-ing, sleeping poolside, swimming, could be a full day routine. And then add sand ..... I managed to rent a motorboat and go out with my older son. It was the highlight of the trip for him and me. We moored on the bay and I snorkeled at one of the "top spots". On a separate note, the sad reality is that tourism is taking a toll on the reefs in that part of the world. The corals were all but gone, the fish too used to eating food from snorkelers. I hope to take both our sons back to Molokini or the Barrier Reefs one day, soon .....
