Many of you know that I went to the Mayan Riviera (Cancun) area in Mexico with my sister last week. I thought about posting to my blog from there, but could never seem to get away from the beach long enough! There's nothing like a good vacation with your sister to re-energize. Boy, did I do that!
It rained a little every day which didn't really seem to cool things down, it only made it steamy! We had to make 'redneck' rainsuits one night when we got caught in an evening downpour!
I talked to a lot of people while I was there and most of them were not Americans. Apparently Americans are afraid they might either get the Swine Flu or get kidnapped! We found everyone there was very glad we were there and always willing to help us get what we needed (well, maybe a couple of people weren't very helpful). The vacancy rate at the resorts in the area is at 50%, which explained why we never had to really wait for anything. The resort seemed empty which was ok with us as we never had to fight for a beach chair!
We took a 3 hour bus ride to Chichen Itza, a Mayan ruin in the central Yucatan area, and never felt uncomfortable, other than the heat (it was 110 that day), or threatened in any way. The Mayan ruins are fascinating and was well worth the trip. The snorkeling was great right off the beach and I could not get enough of that. But most of the time we spent on the beach relaxing.

We will batten down the hatches and hope for a mild one so that everyone can keep riding all winter. We only have 3 more bike nights left this year, so stop by and visit before they end. Who knows, maybe I'll need to go back to the beach in January!
