La Isla Mujeres






Exploring the caves at the Sculpture Park
These iguana guys were everywhere! They are so cool! (even though this one looks like he

wants to eat us for lunch!)


This was my favorite spot--the pier at Playa Lancheros at sunset! So pretty!

Enjoying sunset at Playa Norte

We were in heaven with all the beautiful beaches!


This guy is priceless!

A couple weeks ago, Steve and I took a trip to La Isla Mujeres, Mexica. It is a small island off Cancun and is absolutely beautiful! This trip was a celebration of Steve returning home safely from Iraq and we had a great time. The highlights were:
-Relaxing and reading on the beautiful white sand beaches
-Adventurous taxi rides
-Chips and guac everyday!!!
-All the fun restaurants and new foods we got to try! (Cazuelas, chik n' tix, etc...)
-Ending our day with gelato every night at Monte Biano with Stefano (the Italian guy that owns it--yes we became best friends!)

-Swimming with sealions, manatees, sharks, rays and dolphins

-Seeing the "tortugas!" (turtles)

-pretty much everything. we had a great time. Welcome back Steve! I'm so glad you're home!

Beautiful, just beautiful. It looks like it was an amazing trip and just what you two needed after Steve's deployment. I LOVED all of the hands-on adventures!
