| A
way-back-when-photo of Rich and my first dive trip together |
Rich and I just completed our dive trip to Cozumel. We swam with sharks, turtles, eagle rays, and
countless fishies. I saw my first
octopus on our night dive. Rich and I
watched him scurry upon the ocean floor on its nocturnal hunt for so long, we
lost contact with the rest of our dive group.
We swam through the inky blackness waving our little flashlights around
until we found our group a few minutes later; it was kind of a rush to wonder
if we would have to surface solo a half hour boat ride from the shore in total
darkness. When we finally did ascend as
a group, we turned off our lights and bobbed in the toasty waters while star
gazing the impossibly bright Milky Way.

While on the island, we stayed at an all-inclusive resort
called Iberostar. This was the first
time I traveled chichi on purpose. The
resort was gorgeous and the staff were the most attentive and hardworking I
have ever seen. Each day we walked
around the manicured grounds to watch flamingos, iguanas, and peacocks frisk
about. Although I loved the property and
staff, I had very little in common with the clientele, so I don’t plan on
traveling all-inclusive again anytime soon.

I have been studying Spanish each day and have upped my linguistics
game a bit. I can now sound like a confused
3-year-old in 4 different verb tenses … sometime hard fought victories are very
subtle :)
I’m back in California tonight and look forward to catching
up with friends soon!

seen towel swans before, but it was a treat to get a towel dinosaur |

not good at reading emotions, but I think Rich was enjoying himself … |
