MEXICO

Well, here it is...our first blog from Mexico. We have free internet - we've just been so busy we haven't had time to write. We are having a great time and "so far" the weather has been beautiful. We have heard Hurricane Ike may hit before we leave, so we will continue to watch the weather closely.

Last night was the wedding, and everything was perfect. The bride rode up to the gazebo on a horse-drawn carriage. There are approximately 35 people here for the wedding, but most are leaving today. We are staying until next week to celebrate our four year anniversary.

Yesterday, Brett and two other guys played golf at the Jack Nicklaus Moon Palace Golf Resort. The pictures attached of the monkeys, Iguana and Tejons (look like ant-eaters) were on the golf course. Brett said they had to scare an Iguana off the tee box so they could hit. Funny how they are very comfortable around humans here. The Iguana's are all around the pool at the resort...and we're not talking "small" Iguana's either. Brett fell in love with Paco the Iguana (see photo of Brett holding him). They have a staff member that walks around with different "tame" animals each day. The picture of the Conch (saltwater snail), is from our beach at the hotel. Brett and Lee (one of the guys here for the wedding) found it while snorkeling. Pretty cool, huh?

It is Sunday, and we just got in from breakfast. We will probably head out to the pool soon. I think we are going to snorkel today, but if not, we will take our books and lay under a cabana and read. It's very relaxing, but we miss the kids and Hudson.

Feel free to email or comment on the blog. We will probably post again tonight or tomorrow with more pics. Hope the weather is nice back home - see everyone soon!
