Rewind: Beginning of October

ok, so things didn't go in order but you'll get the drift. this is before supper one night. our living room of our room.
The beginning days of October, Justin and I were lucky enough to take a trip to Cancun! What a blast. We originally wanted to go with a group of friends, but life changed our plans and we ended up with a second honeymoon. Which that was ok too. We had a great time. We really missed Kamalee and checked in everyday. Thank goodness there was no extra charge for texting in Mexico. I think she had as much fun as us. I never got a bad report once, so that was a mind-easing. Our flight there went smoothly. But the one on the way back was late and the attendant in Mexico switched our flight and we made our original one. Long story short, he screwed up and our bags didn't arrive for 3 hours after we did. Luckily, being his fault they mailed them the next day to Watertown so we could hit the road for home.

We took an excursion one day and did a zip line (where you climb many flights of stairs and glide down a cable, through the forest hooked to a harness and land at another set of stairs, go up and do again. what a rush!!!), rappelled (which we climbed more stairs and the did the 'backwords rock climbing' to get down to the ground again), and swam in a cave and snorkeled to see stalagmites. very cool until I saw the bats. talk about panic attack in a cave and under water!). Her is me about to do the rapelle.
and Justin
us right before everything. the get up scared me a bit.
this is a banana tree in our resort. had to take a pic for my uncle who has had one in his house for a few years and it is yet to get bananas. I asked our guide there, and he doesn't think he will ever get one. Well, will let him keep hoping! :)
Another night before supper
The pool of our resort
and another shot
This little guy had many friends all around, Justin would only get this close to take a picture. Notice, the coke comes in glass bottles.
Right outside our door every morning
Justin had octopus soup....he loved it! I found it a little creepy. Tomato soup with gushy stuff.
our first visit down to the ocean, on this trip

It was kinda scary the first time, but they are very afraid of you so that made it a little better.

Had to tell your dad! Thought he would get a kick out of seeing an actual banana...on the tree :) He laughed!

Thanks for the comment. Glad to know I am not talking to nobody!
