That is my favorite thing to do!

Great report, keep it coming!

I am getting a new underwater camera myself...... Will have Erica on the other one......What kind are you looking at? I missed gettting any underwater video or pics this trip too.....But after hearing SB stories of how great Akumal bay was and seeing her video I could kick myself.......There was alot of activity in the bay and the bait ball was there too.......

But there is always July........Plus the water was cold to me.

Hey Michael,


Great report so far! It was great to meet you two and so many others this trip.


I really loved the beach at Tulum but what was up with the paparazzi in the parking lot! :0


Hope to see you again soon.

The rumour of David and I rubbing lotion on each other is HIGHLY exaggerated
.

Great report!

Wednesday Night


After getting dropped off at the Blue….we sat at the bar for a while and watched the artist work on the mural….it was looking great.





Back to our room to shower and change for dinner….we were going to El Fagon with Tammy and David.

Lovely towel art.




Of course before heading to dinner we had our usual pre-dinner cocktails at the bar…this time Monica tried the Playa Colada…it had Captain Morgan rum drizzled on the top of it…she loved it…





David decided to lead us to dinner “the back way” Monica and Tammy fell behind and were having trouble with the holes in the sidewalk……Tony and Cheri found us wandering the street and said we were lost…..but David insisted we were fine…..we eventually got there…but the girls kept falling behind and complaining…….Dinner at El Fagon…I had the Arrancherra Special and Monica had Arrancherra Notena (with cheese) both were recommended by T and C also had the bean soup, chips and quac…wow it was good and it was a lot of food. I finished mine and the rest of Monica’s too and some of Tammy’s










We had the table by the donkey…Tammy seemed to like him…..










After Dinner Heather limped by…..and said hello ….and explained how she injured her self……something about a brick and cat

Continued….


After dinner we decided to take a walk over to Mega…ran into Heather again hobbling ….I think we were being followed……the funny thing is David could work there he had most of the aisles memorized …..






Couldn’t find what we wanted…yeah crazy in a store as big as Mega…but Monica wanted bagels…found the cream cheese…no bagels!! Tammy wanted peanut butter for her toast…no peanut butter!! So we settled for a case of bear and Bacardi Anjeo and diet coke! Monica wanted wine but I was being a rude husband and not letting her get what she wanted or so I was told…..


And we were having fun with the basket escalator….pretty cool…





We jumped in a cab…dropped our groceries off at the Luna Blue and then took a cab to La Rana to meet up with everyone. Our cab driver got a little lost but we helped him….. It was great to finally meet Craig (CPFStich) and see Big Dave, Donna (the birthday girl), Shammy, Linda (Doggiemom), KellyK, Rita (another birthday girl), Penny and her daughter, Jason, Tyra, Steve and Judy, and meet Andy and Jen and Maureen and many others sorry I can’t remember all their names…

Big Dave and me





Craig and David.....yea and thats Heather back there....she got there faster than our cab....



Some of the gang




Linda, Monica and Shammy





Donna and me




Big Dave and Monica....I not sure what this was about

More….more…more

We hung around for about an hour and then went to meet up with Mikey and Erica who had just arrived in town…..we dragged them out of their room to say hey to everyone and ended up at the Beer Bucket for a few more drinks and shots......it was a pretty quiet night





Michael (in the back) Judy, Steve, Andy and Erica




Me and KellyK



Mikey and Erica




Rita and me





After lots of talking and drinking….we decided it was time to wander back home…Saw this walking back down 5th….pretty cool.





and no walk back to the Blue would be complete without the girls posing drunk with the frogs…





It had been a long day….and tomorrow would be an early morning…the Catamaya trip….we quietly made our way to our rooms…no yellow cards tonight….and crawled into bed!
