Scuba Diving
I admit that I've been really lazy about posting pictures and I absolutely intend to post some soon, but until then I thought I'd give you a quick update on what we've been up to.
We've spent a lot of time at the beach, the pool, and in town shopping so today we decided to try something different. Eric, Suzanne, Brent and I took a boat to Cozumel (an island off the coast of Playa del Carmen) where we went scuba diving! We went with Scuba Staff Divers and saw a beautiful coral reef, lots of tropical fish, and a giant blue lobster (see our dive HERE)! It was amazing and I absolutely recommend scuba diving if you ever have the opportunity.
We brought an underwater camera with us which we'll be getting developed ASAP and I'll be posting those pictures once we're back.
Right now, we're off to town again to rent a car tomorrow to drive to Cobá, some Mayan ruins in the middle of the Yucatan Jungle. We're planning on using the car the rest of the day to visit some cool Mayan villages in the jungle and the Yul Ha Cenote pictured HERE for some cave swimming.
Other than that, I've been recovering from my monkey bite which hurts A LOT and I'm hoping I didn't get some sort of disgusting monkey disease (I'm thinking monkeypox).
I hope you're all having a great weekend!

Wow! You went to Cozumel to dive! That's AWESOME. I've been out there twice and it is the 2nd best coral reef in the world (the best is in Australia!). Of course, like I said in the last comments, I nearly drown the last time I went, sooo I will not be doing that again. But I am so glad you got to experience it, it's really incredible!

do not, I repeat do not drink the water in Coba. It took me about three visits to not worry about it on the resorts in Cancun.

Jocelyn - Luckily we didn't drown! No big fish either.
Geoff - Have you been to Coba? We didn't drink the water, but we did swim in it... maybe that was a bad idea too?
