Isla Mujeres~ July 2010 (part one) "It's not really a coverup if it doesn't cover anything up"

We arrived at DFW at 5:00 AM for our 7:00 flight, just as the heavens opened and the rain dumped. Gerald kindly dropped us all off at the little bus stop building in remote parking and got drenched running through the rain. Flight was on time and all was good. AeroMexico rocks. Super nice flight attendants and free cocktails (breakfast cocktail = vacation). The plane was full of well behaved families with children speaking quietly to their parents. Maybe they were all still sleepy, but it was a great group. On the ferry! There's my favorite color of blue! Unpacked and down to the pool immediately. Jack bought me a beer! Chloe enjoying the beach The sea glass hunt begins (Smackdown!!!) First round: check out the nice pink piece! Lunch poolside delivered from Buho's. Guac and shrimp ceviche for me and Mr. Wonderful Club Sandwich and Fries for Chloe Pizza for Jack We hung out by the pool and on the beach all day and went into town to the grocery store and to exchange money. It was election weekend, so no beer/liquor sales at the grocery store! Oh no! Jaime would be makin' some money from us that weekend at the poolside bar. :) That night we met up with Mark, Donna, Becky and Craig for happy hour at the penthouse and then on to dinner. We had so much fun! Jack! Hold it up until I get a good pic!! Me and Mr. Wonderful We dined at Macambo and it was delicious! We had a table in the sand and I thoroughly enjoyed my coconut shrimp and margaritas and guess what?! A show! The table next to us was full of twentysomethings who were singing and drinking (loudly and heavily) with a Mariachi band. There were a couple of girls that were really beautiful and one was wearing a bikini and some white crocheted pants that were the equivilent of wearing nothing over her thong. (Hey, I'd wear that, too, if I looked like her!) Jack enjoyed the show. They seemed to be having a great time, especially when the champagne started flowing. Later we saw a few of them walk out to a very nice yacht and board. Nice... Mark and Donna (love the chip) See the girl in the background? She was none too thrilled with the 'show'. Probably because her husband couldn't take his eyes off those girls. She had a pinched and angry look on her face throughout dinner. Jack and friends Becky and Craig We walked back over by Ixchel with Mark and Donna and fed some kitties. This one popped up on the cemetary wall! This sweet little one is pregnant. :( Beach, sun, friends and good food and drink. A perfect day!!!
