We ventured out of the resort to visit the Mayan city of Tulum. Our group got there early, before there were too many tourist and before the sun could scorch us. The remains of this city have the Atlantic as a beautiful backdrop. We did meet some rather pushy peddlers, but that was to be expected.
We also went snorkeling in a Cenote(under ground river *EEK*). It was eerily gorgeous under the water, and surprisingly deep. I kept thinking that a giant fish was going to eat me. After snorkeling this we went ziplining through the jungle, during which I looked terrified in every. single. photo.
One day we decided to just sit on the beach and read/people watch. It happened to be a particularily windy morning and Darrin managed to spray the sunblock into a cute swirl design on his chest. He received many funny looks everytime he was without a shirt for the rest of our stay. Side note, I read 4 books while on this vacation and one of them was 800 pages. Darrin scoffed at me for bringing so many, but I know myself.
We had met another couple from ND on the shuttle to our hotel and decided we should all venture to Cozumel for a day together. After getting sea sick on the ferry- yes I am that sad- we rented scooters and drove through the city out to a beach. Let me just say it was terrifying, but the beach was COMPLETELY worth it. The restaurant we had a late lunch at was literally 15 feet from the water. And that water. So blue. So clear. I decided we must go back to Cozumel at some point in order to scuba or snorkel.
Otherwise we just relaxed, drank pina coladas, and enjoyed the beautiful beaches and weather!
