February 24, 2011


Today we went to Crococun zoo , just a few minutes from Puerto Morelos. Everyone had a wonderful time 


Our little tourist waiting patiently for the guide  






a little croc







A SNAKE! - WHO CARES WHAT KIND!! OMG!




These children DO NOT take after their Grandma Elliott!



A Mayan dog, it's a hairless dog, known as xoloizcuintli. There are not many of these dogs in Mexico but they are not on the endangered list. They have to be kept out of the sun due to the fact they have no hair.




More Crocs

 


Feeding the deer





breaking off a piece of banana to feed to the turtles




We did not see any wild monkeys today.  These were pet monkeys that have been  confiscated and are being trained to go back into the wild. It is illegal here in Mexico to have pet monkeys 



A member of the Racoon family


This is where we lost the youngest member of our travel party at the end of the tour. He slipped past us and went to the bathroom. None of us saw him go in that direction so we all started going back through the park calling is name.  He didn't tell anyone he had to pee. he just took off!



The travelling family - they had a great time.



This one loves refried beans, just like Grandma!







La Papa & Cafe -  "The Potato and Coffee"
 This little restaurant is in the Colonia, it serves a dish of potatoes with different ingredients. This one is with just cheese. She loved it and wants to go back for more!!




Then we went shopping at one of the markets for fruit. They bought the best pineapple EVER!


We  took the Collectivo to our hotels and had a great trip back. Some perfer  the taxi but they have not offered to pay so they travel with us.
