Mexico 3 Aquarium

The next day we went to the aquarium that Itze' works at. Above are some really cool jelly fish. Then they had this snapping turtle that you could pet with a worker next to you to make sure you were doing it right.
Then we went swimming with the dolphins. Swimming with the dolphins was one of the funnest things that we did there. I will work on getting the pictures from it and the video up for you to see. After we swam with the dolphins we walked around the shopping area waiting for the dolphin show. The next picture and video are from the show it was fun to watch but I have seen a much better show at Sea World.
They had two sets of dolphins, one set from the Pacific and one from the Atlantic Ocean. We swam with one set and then the other set put on the show. It turns out that the dolphins that did the show have a really funny fact. The lead dolphin is racist and hates fat people. It will refuse to swim if a Black or a Fat man is in the pool. They have no idea why but it refuses and it convinces the other dolphins not to swim either. Maybe that is why we swam with the other set, they got a look at me and figured they should give us the dolphins that will swim.

Mexico 2 X'carat

One of the first things we did was go to a place called X'Carrat. It is a preserve that was really fun to see and go around in. They had 2 man made rivers that you can snorkel down and see a lot of cool stuff. Then around the park they had a lot of historic Mexican recreations. In the picture above I am standing next to the playing field of an old Mayan game that you play with your hips. Later that day we got to see them actually play the game.
Below is a picture of Rene' next to some parrots. They were everywhere. For those of you can't find them they are green and over her shoulder.
At the end of the day we went to there show and saw them put on this really cool play of their history. This is where we saw the hip game and then they also played a game that was like hockey without the skates and where they lit the ball on fire. It was really fun to watch.
X'Carat also had some manatees and Rene' loved them we watched them for a long time and them we got this video.

Mexico 1 The Hotel

If you don't know Rene' and I went to Mexico at the end of June. I thought I would finally put the pictures of that trip on here for you to see. These first two were taken from our hotel lobby. Because of the swine flu not many people were going to Mexico at the time and we were able to book a 4 star hotel for the price of a 1 star. This made it really fun for us and we were really glad near the end because our hotel room was the only place we had air conditioning.
Here is Rene' showing off our room and bed (Which was really comfortable).
The next two pictures are the view from our room. if you went out on the balcony and looked straight down you would see the bottom of the building and then 10 feet away the ocean started. We could not get any closer.
At night if we left the door open then we could hear dolphins playing. It was really fun because we thought that we were just hearing birds but Itze' my friends wife told us it was dolphins.
I forgot to say why we went to Mexico. My very good friend was getting married to a girl from Cancun. We thought that it was a good excuse for us to go. We were there for 1 week and we are very grateful to my mother and father for watching Ethan for us.
