We're back home

We made it back home but not without a long delay in our flight from Denver because of mechanical malfunctions. Now that I've been home for a few days, the past two months in Mexico seem like a distant dream. All in all, though, I have to say that our adventures down there couldn't have been any better. Everything went so smoothly...our living arrangements, our language studies, and our travels across the country. The worst thing that happened was that I lost my ATM card! The Mexico I knew 30 years ago has changed tremendously and travel and life down there are so much easier than in the past. The Mexican people we met were so kind and helpful in so many ways and we will always remember them. Now we're back for a month and then Z and I are taking off on our final leg of our travel trilogy. I'm dragging him to Europe so that he will finally meet all his German aunts, uncles, and cousins.  (Sorry Z, it's not over yet!) Anyway, here are a few final shots of our last day in Mexico...

One last beer on the beach...

Our last day in Playa, we hopped on one of these boats and went out on a snorkeling trip...

Peaceful beach scene...

Same scene at sunset...

The shops here have a lot of funny T-shirts for sale...this one is tame compared to most!

I found this sun on a gate to someone's house...

There is TONS of development going on all along the Mayan Riviera...

This little VW bus is actually a restaurant on wheels...

Z at the airport in Cancun...

Shortly after takeoff...

The beautiful shoreline (soon to be developed)...

Z and F reunited and waiting for our bags to arrive in SFO...
