Wall of Tequila in a Playa del Carmen gift shop, incidentally a great way to taste a bunch of tequila for free… As much as I would have liked to, I didn’t bring any bottles back.

I was traveling light–I didn’t have any checked luggage, so I couldn’t bring it on the LAX-PHX flight anyway…

Finally saw a splendid toadfish this morning on last dive of the trip!! — Also saw a huge southern sting ray, but missed the spotted drumfish.

Sad to see the end of a week of great diving in Cozumel…

first two dives of the trip a big success… curious monster-sized groupers on the first dive. saw half-dozen turtles and half dozen spotted eagle rays on the second…

Feliz Navidad from Cozumel

After a couple rainy days in Cancun, yesterday was beautiful, so is today. Katie picked a pretty good restaurant last night for delicious sangria and guacamole… Going snorkeling with the turtles, then leaving Isla Mujeres this afternoon for a couple days in Playa del Carmen. Life is good…
