Swimming with crocdiles at Isla Holbox, Quintana Roo, Mexico


our hotel and beach from the boat
Saturday

I've been able to swim at least once a day now, swimming in warm salt water is one the best things ever.No one else seems to swim.They wade or paddle a bit in the edge. The water gradually deepens...it isn't over my head until I am 50 feet out....

Besides general relaxing, we've been playing cards, and trying new restaurants...and today we took a boat trip. It was the classic "see some birds, look for dolphins, see some more birds, go to a well worn local attraction". There was a bit of a surprise at the local attraction, at least....see the photos! We shared the boat with a couple from Chicago and a very well-traveled family from Denmark.

Monday

Not much else to report...just more beautiful beach views, swimming, eating...


Right now, we're sitting in the beach chairs under a palm tree in the late afternoon, drinking cold Negra Modelos (beer) and reading (or writing)and people watching. White, puffy clouds obscure the sun from time to time....birds fish out in front of us...the breeze keeps it from getting too hot. One more day and then back to snow and rain....
