Cruise

Well Liz and I got back from our cruise to Mexico a couple weeks ago. It was a lot of fun and we're looking forward to the next one (even though it may be a while). We missed Brady a lot (he stayed back home with my sister, Brianne) and Liz thinks we should take him along next time but im not sure I like that idea.

First stop on the cruise was Progreso, Mexico. This port wasn't too great. Its sorta still in development so it was a little boring and dirty. While there we decided to go the the Uxmal Mayan ruins. This was pretty cool to see their culture and all of the lizards running around.






The next morning we arrived in Cozumel. Liz had been looking forward to this day for a while because she was going to be able to swim with the dolphins. We went to the dolphin discovery, a big place where the dolphins were and also a hotel thing , and liz swam with the dolphins. She got to kiss them and get in the water with them. They pulled her through the water by their fins and they also picked her up by her feet with their noses and pushed her. It was pretty cool and a time she wont forget.






After Dolphin Discovery we went to paradise beach. While we were there we got to play with all of their water toys, go snorkeling, and enjoy the sun. fte that we headed back to the port where we did all of our shopping. The prices on things were good but not as good as I thought. Maybe we went to the wrong places but I had to haggle them down on a couple of prices.


The last day of the cruise was a "fun day at sea" where we just relaxed by the pool and went down all the water slides. A couple of nights they had variety shows so we went and saw those and we also tried our luck on the slots in the casino. Fail.
