Quintana Roo

We arrived safely here at the fabulous Hotel Presidente in Cancun! We had a free afternoon to explore! Family, I only took a picture of the jet skis! The white sand is soft and cool! I did go walking on the beach with a teacher from the Ukraine. She is an ESL teacher in our group from Oklahoma. The Tropical Storm Alex left piles of seaweeds on the beach! You could hardly get in the water.
Alex, Comexus assistance, has joined Jacques to assist us on this trip! We have our own Coach Bus which will take us across Mexico. Jacques is a Frenchman, but has lived in Mexico for 30 years. He is also an accomplished historian. We feel confident that our experience will not just be a touristy time. We have had typical American/Quasi Mexican dishes. I had chicken wings! We will be leaving Cancun tomorrow to begin to see and meet the people of the Yucatan!
Our roommates are changing with each hotel stay, so tonight my roommate is from Minnesota. I enjoyed meeting the teacher from Laos. She is an ESL teacher in Portland, OR. Our group is very geographically and culturally diverse. We are getting to know each other. This experience will be enlightening as we get to know the culture of Mexico as well as explore the regional diversity of our counter parts!

  1. Just figured a way to leave a comment Brenda. Glad to know you made it safely and is having an adventurous time. We look forward to future blogs. As for here, the heat has given way to ideal tempts. All the way down into the 50's last night. Highs in the 80's with the promise of the heat returning soon.
