Chichin Itza





Either I didn't tell you about this or I somehow missed the post.  Flo Bill and I went to ChiChin Itza on the day dad went deep sea fishing.  I thought I had written about it, regardless, it's one of the seven wonders of the world and it one of the first I've visited.  It waas absolutely amazing.  But now I have the opportunity to let the pictures do the talking so here it is!

Just some odds and ends

This was at YVR on our way out.


Thanks to our resident photographer, this is the resort at dusk.





 
 
 
This is also on the resort.
 
 
Even though this is being written from home, after looking at the pictures, I thought better late than never.

Tequila


This is the bottle that was awaiting Flo and Bill's arrival.  Every night with our treats we would either get a bottle of champagne or wine.  By the time it was time to go, we had quite the stash of unopened wine.  We asked to trade it all in for a bottle of Tequila that had the hotel's name on it.  They said they would give us two bottles!  We were quite thankful.  So we carefully packed them in our knapsacks.  Get to the airport about to go through security, when we see the regulations of no liquids!  So talk about feeling stupid!  The nice security guard said we need not worry about the bottles breaking on our way home, since they would be travelling no farther than the point we were at right then! Boy did that hurt!  We watfched as they carefully placed these two bottles in the garbage can there, along with dad's barely used bottle of Hummer!  We know all those rules, yet for some reason didn't think they had them in Mexico!  Don't know what we were thinking!  So we crossed the hallway and proceeded to buy another bottle of Tequila!!!!!  Darn it all, but I guess lesson learned!  Oh well at least thanks to Flo's wonderful picture taking capabilities, we can share with you what it WOULD have looked like!  So cheers Jonathan!

some pictures

So now that I've figured out what I did wrong, there will be more to follow!

Sun rises

So disappointing not to see sunsets, but sunrises!  I guess, they'll have to do!  They were however very beautiful

The (&^%$#) Walmart!


Cannot believe we sunk SO low!!!
                                                                                                             

Dad right in his element!
Yes, they even sell socks at the Walmart in Mexico, and NO he didn't buy any!
