Day 3 Wednesday

It was another cloudy day here, although it didn’t rain. It was humid though and my hair was curling off in all directions.

We had a good breakfast, and went off to the Xcaret park. We wandered through the rain forest, we saw a mushroom farm, flamingos, a fish and shrimp farm, and lots of orchids and bromalias. We also saw sea turtles, from 1 month old to full grown. That was all before lunch. It was lots of walking. We came back to the resort for lunch, and tried to nap.
Grandma and grandpa took Rebecca this afternoon and saw dolphins, manatees, and the butterfly atrium.
A and I got flipper, masks, snorkels and lifejackets, and spent an hour floating/swimming down an underground river. It was quite cool, (meaning neat). We were also warned that the water would be very cold, and we shouldn’t bring R. It wasn’t that cold, or maybe we’re just proudly canadian. It was very tranquil, and we spend some of the time in underground caves. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to see the rest of the park or the nightly show. Still, we’d likely go back if we were in this area again.
We had another good supper. My daughter hasn’t yet met a piece of sea food she didn’t like. So for supper she ate about 30 shrimp, and likely about 20+ muscles. In fact she went back for more muscles for dessert.
In the evening we went to the kids’ show, and R danced on stage with the other kids. Then they had a pinata, and all the kids took turns whacking at it. R loved the candy pick up!
It was a nice day. R is becoming fast friends with 2 Irish girls. We’ll be seeing them at the pool tomorrow. Gallery is here.
