Day 6 Isla de Mujeres

This morning we went for a walk along the beach and also walked around the resort and saw the sights there. Notice dad by the shark!! (It is plastic but a good photo op.) By the resort is a big pond that they have posted a sign that says crocodiles. But we have not seen any, just the small lizzards.
We gave the concierge the address for the church and he had a taxi take us there. It was only about 4 blocks from our resort. It is a small branch. They just occupy the bottom floor of this building. There were 2 other couples visiting (the ones in the golf cart) and probably total attendance was 30 people. They are all so thankfull for the gospel but live in such humble conditions.
Since the church was so close to the resort (which we did not realize when we went there) we walked home and saw these things on the way.

We went for a walk by the hotel in Merida. There were statues all along the side walks. I thought of your store Caleb and Hillary when I saw these
We got back on the bus for a 4 hour bus ride. A really nice bus though.
We got on the ferry in Cancun and headed for Isla de Mujeres.
We checked into our new resort. It is very beautiful on this island.

Day 4 Merida Temple

We took a 4 hour bus ride to Merida to go to the temple. We saw lots of fun sights along the way. We attended a temple session there. When we came out of the session guess who I saw in the dressing room? Molly Cook. Can you believe someone from Rexburg was there. It was so fun.
I used the head phones during the session. That was kind of a fun experience.

Cancun Day 1 Tuesday February 1, 2011

We flew out of Idaho Falls at 18 degrees below zero, arrived in Denver at 12 degrees below zero,
We arrived in Cancun and it was beautiful and warm. We are staying at the Ocean Spa Hotel.
Dinner was cooked outside on the beach. Notice the fish cooking over the fire. It was more for looks, we did not eat it but the rest was very authentic.
Across from our hotel is this Catholic Church. They were performing some kind of ceremony there. It was interesting to watch. We are having a great time.
