Cancun - Post #3 of 6

Tuesday was a lot like Monday, except we didn’t have to listen to a time share schpeel! We got up, put on our suits and headed down for breakfast. After breakfast we ventured out to the beach, grabbed a chair and relaxed. As we laid on the beach soaking up the sun we got bugged from time to time by people trying to sell numerous things like necklaces, shirts, sunglasses, cigars and shells. Thankfully we just had to say no thanks and they kept walking. We walked the beach for a while and then decided to leave the hotel for awhile and check out one of the local malls. This meant we had to hop on the bus, which was kind of interesting. We managed to make it to the mall without any problems. It was a neat mall. Everything was outside. There were several high end stores (we didn’t go in any of them) and several tourist stores. We bought a few things and then stopped in an old fashion diner for a malt and then headed back to our hotel for the night.

By the time we got back to our hotel it was close to supper time. The neat thing about supper at our resort was each night they had a different theme. They had an American night, a Chinese night and one night they walked around with skewers of meat and they would cut the meat off at your table. It was neat. I can’t remember the other night themes. They always had such a wide variety of food. And the pineapple was to die for! We usually didn’t leave hungry! After dinner we went to the bar in the hotel and had a few more cocktails before calling it a night.



This is a picture of the outside restaurant where we usually ate dinner. And that's a picture of our fruity drinks. Aren't they cute??!!

After dinner there were some booths set up with people selling stuff. This guy was doing paintings and the cool thing about his painting was he only used his finger. We purchased the one he is working on in the picture.

Here he is signing our names on the painting.

The city bus!

Where did you guys stay? The front of the hotel looks just like the one I stayed at in college, but I can't remember the name. I should ask my mom. Tyler and I and another couple went to Florida this winter, but want to go to Mexico next winter (we were already planning our next trip on the way home from the first one!). We've heard a lot of talk about Mexico not being safe, but thought if we went to Cancun and stayed at a resort it should be okay. What do you think?
