Our team traveled to Cancun that Friday evening in order to leave via the Cancun Airport over the weekend. What a culture shock to walk into a five-star hotel and, essentially, into a totally different world. So Americanized. So unlike the "true" Mexico we had experienced all week. 
View from the hotel lobby
It was so strange to see all the tourists, wealth, resorts, golf courses--you name it! English, when spoken, could be relatively understood. I was awed to have the freedom to brush my teeth with tap water once again! We ate at a steakhouse. The beds were so plushy and amazing. Overall: shock.
Morning Sunrise
We had a full day before we would travel home. Dad, Steve, and I took an adventure of our own. We went snorkeling in the Caribbean.
These little boats took us out to the reefs. We were able to see lots of beautiful fish, rays, and someone even spotted a barracuda! The day was gorgeous and sunny!
While traveling to the snorkeling place, the van took us on a considerably bumpy ride. We passed a marshy area, and a crocodile sauntered up to the road!
What a trip we had!
We learned so much!
Thank you, Lord!
Help us not to forget what you showed us and taught us along the way! Use these experiences to shape our lives according to Your will.
