Mexico 2012

A couple friends were taking a trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico. I invited myself along for the adventure. It was a much enjoyed vacation. 
First day adventures
Playa del Carmen port -- we took a ferry to Cozumel

Derik and I at Alberto's restaurant
Fantastic seafood right on the beach

Amazing views of the ocean

We rode scooters all around Cozumel


Ocean view from our resort, Hacienda Tres Rios in Riviera Maya, Mexico

Second day
We drove down to Tulum to see the Mayan ruins
Yes, I have an amazing tan line from the prior days activities!

Another view of the ruins overlooking the beach --- we almost went swimming, but decided to wait until we returned to Playa del Carmen

The guys swam in the beach while I guarded all of our stuff
Afterwards we all got a beach side massage --- amazing

Third day I spent at the resort pool and spa while the guys went scuba diving
This was our night out at the resort

Great place for contemplation


Fourth and final day spent at the pool and kayaking down the river
Dinner at Porto Bello, Italian restaurant --- mixed seafood dish, for our last night

Overall, it was a great trip! I enjoyed the resort, the views, the company, the food, and activities!
