Mexico!

After we went to Yellowstone we had a few days back home before we were off again, this time south of the border! It was time for some rest and relaxation! It seems that every time we go on vacation we are constantly on the go doing stuff since we never know when we will be back at that particular place and we want to see as much as possible. This time, however, we decided we were going to go all inclusive and pretty much lay on the beach and eat every day. And that is exactly what we did. We only left the resort once to go fishing and that was definitely an adventure! There are more details on that below.

I'll first start out with food. There was one restaurant on at the resort that was absolutely fabulous! With me loving food the way I do I had to take a few photos of the deliciousness!

Mmmm steak... (what I am not showing is that the steak was pretty much raw on the inside but J ate it anyways! Brave man!)

Stuffed crab shell...

Yummy tuna filet..

We also saw some monkeys. Not sure what kind they were but there were two of them that just hung out in the trees by the rooms.

These coati were always milling around the snack bar! They had babies with them and were adorable. I think J took about a thousand pictures of these little guys! Who could resist them?!

 

Everywhere we go we can't seem to get away from the raccoon! They must have come out to see the expert Dr. B!

Here is one wanting to shake his hand...

Clearly this one is star struck :)

The only time we left the resort was to go fishing. Now, normally I absolutley love to fish but this trip was by far the worst one I have ever been on! Once we by passed the cove and got into open water it was like being in the Bering Sea on Greatest Catch! I have never experienced swells like these it was CR-A-ZY!
We did manage to catch two fish within the first half hour and then for the next 4-5 hours nothing but crazy waves and open water.
The first catch of the morning was a bonito...

The next (and last) fish was a mackerel of some sort. You would never know by looking at the picture that I was chumming the waters for the next 4 hours but you don't need to hear about that!

We also saw some sea turtles braving the waves but that was about it. I was so happy when we got back onto dry land!

Our Mexico trip was just what we needed. We did nothing but sit on the beach, read, and eat and it was glorious!
