Married life...
...rocks!
Steve and I have had a great first two months as a married couple. Our honeymoon in Mexico was fun. We'd thought we would be adventurous, maybe traveling to Chiapas, but we did a lot of relaxing, reading, and resting after the hectic holidays and wedding. We visited several Mayan ruins, such as Ek Balam, Tulum, and the requisite Chichen Itza. Not the fondest memories of Tulum -- arriving on New Year's Day without hotel reservations proved to be a mistake when we woke up one morning in our primitive palapa-roof cabana to find a rat hanging from the inside of the mosquito netting over our bed. Not conducive to proper honeymooning...
However, we rallied! A highlight was a day trip to Celestun where we saw thousands of pink flamingos and an alligator! Steve was convinced it was a large model to impress the tourists because we never actually saw it move.
We spent the last five days on Isla Mujeres, relaxing on the beach and swimming in the gentle waves. It was a very relaxing time but we were also glad to get home and get back to work (why we felt that way is a bit of a mystery NOW).
