5-3-10 evening

Today was an eventful day.

There are these large sandbags placed in the ocean in front of the hotel to break the waves before the beach, but they look like rocks (featured in one of my previous pictures). A fun game to play is to climb atop one of these sandbags. A few challenges you face are the ocean waves and the significant slipperiness of the bags as they are covered in algae. I finally made it after many tries - victorious!!

Later in the day we went to the cenote - Dos Ojos. As we were getting ready to go snorkeling, I did a super stupid thing - locked the car keys in the car. Stupid stupid stupid. After much fretting about what to do, a couple Mexican guys came to help. After many different tries, we succeeded in breaking into the car ! It was awesome, almost worth it (almost!). Snorkeling in Dos Ojos was great, though we snorkeled in the scuba entrance instead of the snorkel entrance, another stupidity.

We had dinner in the Japanese restaurant of the resort tonight. They took many liberties with what they defined as Japanese cuisine but everything was yummy.

Some of you may be happy to hear that I've had to resort to walking around barefoot mostly because my shoes are just not conducive to long walking, especially when sandy beaches are involved.
