Isla Mujeres

I should totally be working right now.  I have more to do than I can even fit on my list.

Which is EXACTLY why I am retreating back to Cancun in my mind…Ahhhh….

So one day, we took the ferry over to a nearby island, Isla Mujeres.  The main selling point for Bryce was the opportunity, just MAYBE, of getting to DRIVE a golf cart around the island.  He didn’t want to go at all when I MENTIONED, just MAYBE, there would be a minimum age somewhat ABOVE the age of 13 required to drive.

We went anyway.

Do you like Jeff’s hat?  He is an AMAZING dickerer.  The opening price was $30 USD.  He was able to parley all the way DOWN to $28 USD.  Don’t let him negotiate your next car purchase.

Here we are on the island, picking up the aforementioned golf cart.  Jeff drove it away.

They weren’t really SPECIFIC on the whole minimum age thing.  Much to Bryce’s joy.

We visited a turtle preserve.

Tyler met his match in this iguana.

And we saw real ones too.

At the end of the island is this beautiful overlook, surrounded on three sides by the clearest water.  We decided this is the best place EVER to stop and have lunch.

Tyler drove us back the other side of the island and back to the ferry.

Oh well, back to work.
