Tuesday to Wednesday

 This vacation did not get off to a good start. I had to get up two hours earlier than usual to go to the airport. I left Paula's wegovy behind in Malvern. She left her pill casebehind in Ellicott City (but fortunately had a sufficient emergency supply in her purse.) Isaac left his backpack in the van that took us from Cancun to Puerto Morelos (but the resort recovered it and got it back to him the next day.) Today (Wednesday) I got up an hour earlier than I should have. I have been wiped.

I got a nap today, and that helped. Spent quite a while in the pool, which was lovely--ald large enough that we could get away from the loud music at one end.

Tomorrow Paula and I are going to snorkel in a cenote, while Steven and Isaac scuba. The bad news is that we'll be gone from 8 until 4, so I will have to get up by about 7.

 Saturday, and we haven't had much chance to post.  Diving was scheduled for this afternoon but it was too windy, so we ended up "swimming with dolphins". That turns out to be a very scripted show, with well-trained dolphins and careful handlers.  Dolphin swims by a line f 8 people standing on a platform roughly waist-deep, and everybodu strokes them as they swim by.  Then you're shown the hand signals for verious tricks like putting out your hand to be touched and dancing.  Then into the water, and the dolphin swims around everyone and you get some more chances to  stroke them.  Finally, back on the platform and one by one the dolphin comes up for a kiss.  Or, in my case, because I couldn't kneel down low enough for ths kiss, to "shake" her fins,  They (of course) took some great photos, but we have't downloaded them yet, so they get posted tomorrow.  Pool and sun  before and after that, and a nap before a rather late dinner. ...

 Nice slow day, late breakfast, hung out at the gorgeous pool, then ventured into the Caribbean.  The beach is lovely sand.  The sea has breakers a little way out; at the first row of breakers it's only about waist-deep.  It was very warm :-)   I didn't venture farther out; Steve and Isaac say after the first row of breakers the bottom is rocky.  Grabbed a couple of hot dogs from the nearest restaurant, pool some more.  Then an early dinner at La Marina, the resort's seafood restaurant.  Nice open room, very pretty food, also very good. The restaurant had an interesting device I at first took for a short coatrack,  but turned out to be a  purse/bag/cane holder.  Every restaurant should have them! The path to the restaurant has now been dubbed "Camina Iguana"; we saw as may as half a dozen at once, some even bigger than the one I posted yesterday.   One down spot in the vacation; both Dave and Isaac have managed to dun...
