Sorry folks I have been busy since I got home and struggling to get the pictures loaded, finally gave up , and some are out of order , but they are here!
Those who know me well, know that the only place I am as comfortable and free as I am on or with a horse , is in the water.
So it only stands to reason , I would vacation near the water.The warm sun and the palm trees , sure don't hurt either !
So Martin , I , His sister Connie, and hubby Mike , all went off to Playa Del Carmen . This year though we took a couple special guests!
Niece Deanna , and her friend Karly
(Me touring Escaret)
We went to a park, (Escaret ) where we swam a river cavern,about and hour of floating/swimming through tunnels in a salt water river , just amazing !
Took me some time but I got this shot of the dolphins
Karly , investigating a shell on the beach
The girls ! They had a blast
Mike , and Dee, looking off to sea
Miss Dee
While there , we celebrated Dee's Birthday at a lobster dinner
as you can see the staff prepared a special dessert for her(must have known she is my niece , with the "Appy Birthday ")
Of course she had to try the resort special a "Pie Eye"
back to Escaret
Big cats in the park
(secured beyond a 6 ft rock wall and a 20 ft gorge , gotta say when the Panther started grumbling that didn't look like a wide enough gap. He had to be 9 feet long !)
off to a quieter area , the butterfly garden
a slightly wilted butterfly here, it was HOT and after a hour swim and 2 hours of walking I was a bit pooped
Brighter butterflies here
more beautiful creatures
Sea turtles sanctuary
And yes even in Mexico I can find a horse show!
And BTW , yes I did dance with my darlin'
Awesome photos ! Glad you had a great time ! Have a good day !

ReplyDeleteAnd you deserved every sun-soaked minute of it!
ReplyDeleteWow sure looks like a good time, Love the dolphin shot!! But would love to the the kitties there (did any have 7 toes, lol)
ReplyDeleteWow, looks like y'all had a blast. will you please take me next time :)
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely and it also looks like everyone had a good time.I had to chuckle when you said that about you and water( which was something I didn't know about you) something else you and I have in common.I'm glad you got to go away and have some family fun time.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to read your Post and look at your pictures as I sit hear listening to the rain and beginnings of (another) wind storm. Seeing people in shorts was kinda wierd. I have no idea where mine even are, it's been so long since I wore them! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThe river canyon sound wonderful. And I loved the shot of Martin with the big beautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteThanks all, Nicole I would love to have all of my bloggin buddies along, that would be a party!
ReplyDeleteCrystal, I don't think they had extra toes, wasn't gonna get any closer to find out either though
Janice, kindred spirits I would say
It was in fact a wonderful holiday
Glad you had a good time. Mr. Fry and I love Mexico, but we haven't been in many a year.
ReplyDeleteLove your header pic, BTW.
Glad you're home safely, and so happy that you had a good time. Looks warm and comfortable. Love the butterfly wings everyone posed in front of. Gives me an idea for the kids at work. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful vacation! We love the beach as well, and I'll bet that horse show was fantastic, as well as the salt water river.
