Mike,

Did you snorkel by the floating bridge at Xel-Ha? (the one by the inlet) It is something else to be in the water surrounded by huge Tunas! You can even pet them, and they hardly ever bite :D  I hope you got a chance to tube down the mangroves there. Tulum, Xcaret it is all alot of fun. I am glad you had a good time, if you ever go in January, maybe I'll run into you.

                                 Regards, Mike

Hey mike. yes that bridge was cool. ther was a lot of big fish there and the water was so clear. Tulum was neat but kind of hot. yes we also went to Xcaret. it  was bad to the bone! cant wait to go back. Januray sounds great.

Mike,

They have these mopeds for rent on Cozumel that you can ride around the whole perimeter of the island - it's alot of fun.

Mike,

Did you see the palm and tropical nursery at Xel-Ha?

It's a little hard to find, but worth going through. We find lots of palm seeds washed up on the beach there, and a few have germinated over the years. I'm not sure what kind they are though.

                     regards, Mike

Must have driven thru Playa del Carmen on the way to the airport and Tulum.  Yucatan holds much beauty  :P Are there tours of the peninsula focused on palm/colorful jungle growth?
