a few friends we met along the way...

TORTUGA!!!!!!

I LOVE sea turtles:) Ed filmed this one on a dive we did in Cozumel:)

Taj Mahal Cenote...

This is a great picture Ed took of me while we were diving the Taj Mahal cenote. This Cenote is about 30 min south of Playa Del Carmen. Then another 30-45 minute drive through the Mexican Jungle, down the worst dirt road ever. Diving the cenotes is like walking through a cave... but underwater, very surreal!

Change can be hard...:)

Going from this...


To this...


well it's a bit of an adjustment to say the least. Yesterday the temperature in Chicago was ZERO with a windchill of -30. Thats right, I said -30... painful! Today it has been snowing for the last 8 hours and does not look like it will stop any time soon. My computer broke down on the second day of our trip... there are no Apple stores in Mexico, and the issue was beyond help-line support. Upon our return she spent a few days at the Apple store and is now good as new. We are all back up and running, frozen... but working. More Mexico picture coming soon:)
