day 3 in paradise...

Highlights from today:
-ate breakfast on the beach. Even Cheerios can be gourmet.
-waded around "our section of beach" and found cute little seashells to bring to the kids
-got sunburned, just a little
-walked down the street to a little cafe and had a smoothie
-went shopping in a little market and got some souvineers for the kids
-went to the local mart and bought groceries. (I didn't realize how heavily I rely on labels, I couldn't read any of the labels so I had to look at the pictures)
-dipped my feet in our pool, which is still very chilly but since I was hot most of the day, it was a nice refreshing thing to do
-laid out on our beach, catching more sun
-shopped in downtown Tulum
-nearly got ran down by motorcyclists and other crazy drivers. The road rules are definitely only guidelines, after all
-rolled my ankle by walking on a very uneven street, it still hurts
-slept on a very hard mattress, reminds me of when we visited China...
-keep having to lather on sunscreen, the sun is HOT!
-turned on the AIR CONDITIONER in our room, it got up to 95 degrees and I was dying!
-wore shorts all day long
-realized that we're only 45 km from BELIZE! And supposedly you can see Cuba from here, we're only 90 miles away from there!
-played card games in the dining room, mostly yelling at each other because the waves in the background are so loud! We're about 50 feet away from the ocean.
-tomorrow's agenda: Mayan RUINS!! It's going to be sweet.
-learned that the internet here is so slow, I can't upload any pictures yet!

It's so hard being in paradise...
