Green with...

sea sickness...

We woke up early to go deep sea fishing this morning. Our private van came to pick us up at our resort and we drove about 30 minutes through Cancun to the Marina. We had ordered a couple of tuna fish sandwiches the night before so we could snack while we were out on the boat this morning. We had a private boat, and it was just us, the captain, and two deck hands. We got on our boat and headed to the top to sit with the captain on the way out. The seas were pretty rough... the waves were about 4 foot on our way out, but Jonathan and I were having fun. We rode out for about an hour our so, and the water was beautiful! It was about 460 feet deep, and it was a pretty deep blue color. Jonathan saw a big sea turtle! I was definitely sitting on the wrong side, because I did not see anything, and I was getting soaked.

When we got to our destination, the waves really started to pick up. We were trolling really slow with the lines out waiting for a fish to bite. Jonathan and I were sitting down on a little bench on the back of the boat. The waves starting getting really big, and we were really rocking! One wave hit us so hard, the whole top of the bench (with both of us on it)flew off! Eek, it was not fun. I was scared to death!

At that point, the waves were getting even worse, and we decided just to turn around and go back. It was miserable! Thankfully, neither of us threw up. The boat dropped us back off at our resort, so we got to pass Isla Mujeres. Jonathan and I were feeling a lot better, and we were able to enjoy the gorgeous aqua water.




When we got back to our room, we took a 2 hour nap, and woke up feeling much better. We are already laughing about it.

We ate lunch at The Grill which overlooked the ocean and the pools. Tonight we are eating at Spice, a hibachi/pan-Asian restaurant. The food here is really yummy...





For the past few days we have hung around the resort and walked on the beach. We had breakfast delivered to our room again yesterday and we enjoyed the sun all day!





















Last night we had an amazing date at the French restaurant, Chez Isabelle.
