We´re playing in Playa (del Carmen). With just four days before our return flight to way too cool Wisconsin, we´re spending time in the waves and sun. Yesterday we rode the waves for two hours and thought of several of our water-loving friends in Bayfield, Roberta and Teresa.... Wish you were here! Compared to Lake Superior the water is so warm here that you never have to get out.
Today the water was smooth and calm. After several efforts to float on her back and a few nosefuls and mouthfuls of water, Frances commented, ¨The sea is my own private netti pot.¨ It´s true! Sea water running into the nostrils is similar to pouring salt water into your nostrils from a small ceramic netti pot. Ah, gross!
Frances bought an English language book on Mayan Prophesies yesterday and read it in its entirely before going to bed last night it was such a gripper. Frances is happy to loan out the book to anyone wishing more information.
Our excitement for the day yesterday was finding acidophilus and bifidus at a pharmacia. That was a major accomplishment since we couldn´t speak enough Spanish to communicate exactly what we wanted. Everyone seemed to think we needed the antibiotics themselves. Now our digestive systems should get back on track after our five day dose of antibiotics.
Steph finds herself floating around for an hour or two after each venture into the water which makes for an interesting time trying to walk and navigate curbs and sidewalks.
Two more days of this intensive relaxation, sun, water, heat, and lounging should make us more than ready to tackle whatever cold and snow awaits us.
