GT. So sorry for your Loss. It is a painful experience in life to loss the one you love. But I must carry on and make the most of it. Grief surely takes time, and this chapter has been good for me to continue on and restart life in new places.

Glad your following along.

Can you believe it?? December 1st.

Yup. Even here on the beach they have Christmas trees up. Santa is now out and ready .

We decided that a day Snorkeling would be good.

Signed up for a few hour snorkeling trip. down to the beach we go.

Sam's ready for the boat ride.

Heading south along the beach. We get a better look at all the resorts and homes along the way.

Nice water.

Some colorful fish.

lots of tourists....

Sam.after some time snorkeling.

Doing his "ruta Muetra" in the water.

Checking out the Cenote. The fresh water is coming up from a lava tube .....

Sam snapped this shot underwater.

Another day at the beach. We will ride south to Tulum tomorrow to check it out. So there will be riding in this report

Let's get this right, you COULD have taken some nice guy photos, you CHOSE not too

There may not be too many of us women-folk out here, but throw us a bone now and then

On a more serious note, great ride report, thank you for bringing us along. You have shown great courage, graciousness and humor, and along with some others out here in ADV land, are showing the rest of us how to live. Ride safely.

You are right. Will keep this in mind in the future. But as a Straight male..... just is awkward to be looking for "hunky" guys to photograph

Just how I am. But will try to get past it for you Gals who are following along

Thanks for the kind comments. It has not been an easy road for sure. Have not handled everything as I would have wanted, but am human. As I take on this journey, there have been some difficult days as I am "alone" on this new chapter and into the future. Miss so much of my married life with Chris.

but am doing my best to carry on.

Good Recovery!

Ladybug0048 · 12-02-2011, 11:22 AM

That was a great recovery.

At least you two aren't as lily white as you were at the start of the trip. Soon we won't be able to tell you are from the PNWet.

Keep those pictures coming. I like the fishes - they're critters of sorts.

? for Sam. How was the snorkling w/o your glasses? Reason I ask is I plan on taking my son to Hawaii for graduation next summer and wanted to go snorkling but not sure how it would work as w/o my glasses I'm pretty vision impaired. So don't know if I could see much under water with mask and no glasses. Maybe I could take off the side temple thingies and just use the front part with lens under a mask ???? Thanks, rj

OK, as for the snorkeling thing. I would not worry too much about the vision unless of course your really vision impaired, the reason I say this is because believe it or not water has a tendency to magnify naturally. I have seen divers with prescription goggles but they are expensive $$$ they need them for reading gauges and such down there.

Now as one who has lived in Hawaii, I will tell you right now it is VERY expensive, and summer months are the best for snorkeling; now that said, I think you way more bang for the buck here in the Yucatan. I am only saying this because I am here now so I have some juxtaposition.

.

A cheaper answer is contacts. Sure it would be more comfortable if you wore them all the time, but it is possible to deal with them for a day at a time when ever you need. If you get the new one time use disposables you just throw them away when your done with them. My buddy does this every couple weeks for dirt bike riding. Plus the new disposable ones are cheep. an exam might cost you $100.00, and I bet you can get a 30 day supply for 30 bucks. In fact when you get a glasses exam, they can give you a contact prescription as part of, but they will charge you an additional fee for "fitting exam"

We left Playa Del Carmen and rode down to Tulum to check it out. We had to say goodbye to Habean who was great to us during our stay at Phantom Paradise.

The beach at Tulum.

After checking many places on the beach at $70 USD Mindy told us about this place for 500 Pesos.

Had a private walkway to the beach. So I walked down while Sam rested. Hat the beach almost to myself.

They had your own Centone.

We decided to go to a Cenote to snorkel in the underground caves. Wow was that cool. We went to Dos Ojos.

lots of Stalagmites....

I know I post tons of photos.... But that is because it is good to share ......

Samuel and our dive guide, Jose. If you go be sure to ask for him. He was great. Good sense of humor.

Internet Problems.... Cannot post all the links right now. Maybe later.....
