The first few pics in this series are from Feb 24th, their second day -  day of the Crococun Zoo.

 

For dinner we bought pizza from the Colonia at Carmen Pizza - Their pizza is the best!!!

Fresh ripe pineapple for dessert!

and lots of R&R

 

Today, the 25th,  we rented a glass bottom boat and went to the reef. First we went to a deeper part of the reef park to see coral and fish from the boat's glass bottom. Later we were taken where 5 of us went snorkelling in shallower waters. While we were snorkelling the captain of the vessel took Mom and the 2 smaller children to see more coral beds and fish. So far this has been the highlite of the vacation.

and our Guide 

A view of Puerto Morelos from the water

Everyone is enjoying the view through the glass  bottom

The camera looses a lot - the actual view was great,  you could see the colours of the fish and coral-the camera just does not pic that up,

Clinton surprised Leigh and the kids when he came up under the boat at the end of our snorkelling tour

The "Paula Rubi" was the boat that took us on this tour. We landed at the very dock where Heidi Klum has been working on her commercial. - We walked on the very dock she walked on !!!!!

Then we went to El Tio for a real Mexican lunch - it was sooooo good and we were hungry!

Leigh and Brooklyn were serrinaded by a travelling Minstrel

Dress shopping and no full length mirrors so a digital camera came in handy

This little fellow would make a great Mexican, he found a comfortable and cool place to sit while the ladies shopped

We all met for dinner at La Petita
