Midweek Adventures in Cancun

Wednesday

Wednesday turned out to be a really fun day.

We started the morning by doing laundry at a local laundromat, which might be my new favorite discovery. We simply dropped everything off and came back a few hours later to find it all clean and perfectly folded. I honestly cannot believe I have not done this before.

Most of the day was spent running errands, but we saved the fun for the evening.

Almost every night here the sun has completely worn us out and we end up going to bed early. So this time we made a point to stay out of the sun during the day so we could enjoy the night.

We cooked a delicious fish dinner at the condo and then headed down to the pool area for a drink. Two guys were playing some really fun music on a xylophone, which made for a great atmosphere.

After that we headed out to the downtown hotel zone to check out Coco Bongo. It is basically a nightclub mixed with a live performance show. There were dancers performing to all kinds of hit songs from different artists and movies, everything from the Beatles to Beetlejuice.

The performers kept the crowd really involved, and the open bar definitely helped keep the party going. It was a really fun night.

Thursday

Thursday was much more low key.

We were definitely feeling a little hungover from Coco Bongo, so we spent most of the day relaxing on the beach.

Unfortunately I did not take many pictures that day. The only photo I managed to capture was the sunset.

Later that night at 8:35 PM, Erin landed at the Cancun airport, so we headed out to pick her up.

This next week should be pretty eventful now that she is here. The three of us already have a few fun activities planned.

I will try to post updates when I have some free time, though it might be a day or two.

Pictures Tomorrow

We had an amazing day visiting Chichen Itza and Ik Kil Cenote.

I had no idea there would be so many ruins to explore. It took us about four hours to walk around and see everything, and there was something interesting around every corner.

After exploring the ruins, we also stopped at Ik Kil Cenote, which was absolutely beautiful.

I took a lot of photos today, but I am way too exhausted to upload them tonight. I will share all of them tomorrow once I have a little more energy.

First Day Adventures in Cancun

Holy hell, it has been an interesting day.

We started the morning by heading into town to find a supermarket. One thing I noticed right away is that people drive a little crazy here. I never quite knew who was in what lane at any given moment. It definitely feels like a bit of a free for all on the roads.

Luckily, Shane is doing all of the driving.

Eventually we made it to the supermarket, which turned out to be quite the experience. Since my Spanish is not very good, figuring out where everything was took a little extra effort.

For example, who knew milk (leche) would be sitting on a shelf and not refrigerated? And coffee filters were definitely not anywhere near the coffee. It took us about half an hour to finally track them down.

Despite the confusion, we made it through the shopping trip and hopefully we will be a little more prepared the next time we go.

After our driving and shopping adventure, we came back to the condo, grabbed a nice cold drink, and headed down to the beach.

The sand here is amazing, and the water is full of bright greens and blues. I absolutely love it.

I could definitely get used to this for a month.
