Mexico 2017 Chronicles: Day Eleven – Rainy Day Bliss

A Bright Start to the Day

Ah, Mexico, where even the rain can’t dampen the spirits of intrepid travelers like us. After a day of showers yesterday, we were greeted with a radiant morning, complete with sunshine and warmth that could rival a cozy embrace.

Breakfast Antics and Aquatic Adventures

Rising earlier than our usual vacation routine, we indulged in a hearty breakfast before embarking on our daily escapades. Michele opted for some quality sun-soaking while I, ever the adventurer, ventured into the azure depths in search of the mystical turtles. Alas, my quest remained unfulfilled, but the underwater world greeted me with an abundance of colorful fish, dancing in the sunlight like living jewels.

Serendipitous Encounters

As fate would have it, our leisurely beach day took an unexpected turn when Michele struck up a conversation with Sharon, a fellow Brit basking in the Mexican sun. Meanwhile, Sharon’s husband Paul was off on his own aquatic odyssey, regaling us with tales of encounters with not just turtles, but also a majestic stingray.

Refreshments and Revelations

To complement the day’s tropical vibe, Karen, our ever-attentive host, kept our glasses brimming with refreshments while Edinson, the master of cool treats, surprised us with a delightful array of ice lollies.

Rain, Rain, Go Away… or Not

Just as we were settling into our newfound camaraderie, the heavens decided to play their own symphony. The rain descended with a vengeance, drenching the landscape from mid-afternoon until the late evening hours. But fear not, for every cloud has a silver lining—or in our case, a cozy bar to retreat to.

Thai Delights and Silver Screen Thrills

Undeterred by the weather’s antics, we traded our sun loungers for the allure of a Thai feast, savoring every spicy bite as the rain serenaded the world outside. And what better way to cap off a day of adventure than with a classic movie marathon? As the rain tapped its rhythm on the windowpanes, we nestled into our bed, popcorn in hand, ready to face the aquatic thrills of “Jaws II.”
