Viva la Mexico!

Last week we hopped on a plane and flew to our perfect place--Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.  Upon arrival we rented a car and drove to a small pueblo about 20km north of Tulum--Chan Chumuyil.  Our 2 bedroom casita served as our base for the week.  Rich and Emily joined us and had a house just a few doors down.  Each day we enjoyed the sunshine, visited different beaches, some ruins, and just relaxed.  We were on vacation time, which meant the only thing scheduled was Hersh's nap.  We enjoyed swimming, snorkeling, and beach combing.  We went out to some dinners the 5 of us, and had other opportunities for date nights :)

Hersh had a great time, growing more comfortable with the ocean each day.  He loved swimming in the waves, searching for fish and sea sponges.  With us and his Sabba and Savta there, I do not think he could've been any happier.  Although it is always nice to come home, it was very sad leaving the sunshine and the beach for the cold DC winter.  Alas, Mexico will be there next winter to welcome us with warm, sunny arms.
