Vacation Fun

We were back to our favorite beach location – Live Aqua in Cancun – for our birthdays/early Spring Break. It was glorious!

Our room was decorated when we arrived.

This was the first of many special treats.

Our favorite lunch restaurant made a special fruit arrangement

This was waiting in our cabana when we arrived!

We had lots of delicious meals and I was a pretty adventurous eater. (It’s easy when it’s all inclusive) I tried lobster, ceviche (raw fish), salmon and Huitlacoche soup. Huitlacoche is “corn fungus” and apparently it’s a delicacy. It was much more delicious than it sounds – a combined taste of mushroom and corn tortilla.

They had done their research and this was my evening birthday cake! Even Tailwheel made an appearance in Cancun.

There was lots of good music including this trio singing poolside one afternoon. Check out the shoes!

The view from our lunch spot

The view from our cabana. The water was a little colder but less wavy. It was fun swimming!

That’s lobster --- on my plate! Doug thinks he had some sort of fish at every single meal – breakfast, lunch and dinner.

One of Doug’s favorite – salmon tartar

As expected, the Mexican restaurant was terrific! We like that there are lots of little things instead of giant portions served at each menu.

At our last dinner on our last night, the waiters brought out the fire. At some point, all of these glasses were on fire and we were presented with the anise flavored liquor at the end.

This was the view of the sunrise from our room on the last morning. It’s as though Cancun was saying “please come back”.
