day 3 in playa and day 2 doings

nick says: as soon as we both woke up this morning, we were on the road. As we were on our way to coba, Papa wasn´t paying attention to the road for a couple of minutes and we hit a sleeping policeman(their version of a speed bump) at 40 km/h and went flying. After that he was paying much more attention than he was. Once we arrived at Coba we took a tour up the trail to the big pyrimid lead by our tourguide Hercules. He was very helpful in filling us in on the Myan history. Once we got to the big pyrimid, we climbed it to the top. There was an excellent view and we got plenty of pictures. Once we finally decended, we made our way back down the rocky, dirt path. When we got to our rent-a-car, we had some troubles and Papa will tell you about that. That´s all from me bye.

papa says: okay so i left the lights on after we got out of the car att Coba, but we lucked out as the local amigos came to the rescue and pushed our car into position to be jump started. And, then we got rolling and didn´t want to turn the engine off for a while -- at least till we got to the gRAND cENOTE WHERE WE WENT SNORKLING IN THE CAVE WITH LITTLE FISH. Ooops. then we went and found a quiet beach and azule water and took in the scenry -- papa went for a swim and nick kept his eye on the girls. after that we hit Mega grocery store for our second trip for kitchen food. tonite we ate at a local (real local!) restaurant or open front building that was so hot it felt likew an oven.

yesterday, we went to the beach and explored 5th avenue (like our boardwalk) and picked up our rental car. we also enjoyed a brief downpour. okay, that´s all for now. A lot more has happened but that´s all we can think of.
ciao, adios, etc and much love
nick and papa!

Playa del Carmen -- day 1

Well, we are here after a delayed flight and to our hotel which was overbooked and now we wait in balmy lobby for the management to find other accomodations. The flights were good but a bit bumpy from the storms in the area over the Southeast. we arrived huungry as no meals were served on eithter flight. After apologies the hotel manager told us to go get lunch on him (and a free breakfast every day) while he looks for another room arrangement. I had filet migon which was like tuff goat meat. Nick had fettucini which he couldn't finish. The appetizer of nachos however was great. We are learning the art of patience as we wait, wait, and wait... okay here`s Nick. We are on our way to the hotel now(4:55-play del carmen, 6:55-USA). That´s all for now. Thus ends day one(uno).
