Things we love to do...
.....at The Royal, Cancun!
EAT at Spice Buffet. Sooooo yummy! Look at this delicious fruit plate. Gerardo has been the host every year that were visit and he remembers us each time. He is so nice, he always takes my handbag and offers his arm to walk us to our table. My favorite is when he says...."come, my queen" ha....so cute! I was craving Kiwi fruit for days and they didn't have any for serving, I finally asked Gerardo, he got right on the phone and found one for me and brought it in on a plate - seriously!
And...I look really scary in this picture......
PLAY....we love making new friends. These are friends we made from Michoacan and Brazil. They played volleyball with Sam and danced with me. They were hilarious! If you know my friend Haoi My, don't you think Faby (on the left) looks just like her?
EAT SOME MORE......It's hard to choose a favorite restaurant but this year we really loved Maria Marie, a French/Mexican fusion gourmet restaurant with yummy food, an awesome ambiance and superb staff.
This was the set up during the day for a beach Caribbean night. Isn't it beautiful? Again they had amazing food, a salsa group and dancing all night. We met an Irish couple on their honeymoon and laughed all night at our drunken Argentinian friends.....ah memories!

La Bodeguita Del Medio, PDC
aahhhh the bodeguita, this Cuban restaurant is my favorite place to dance salsa in Cancun. We visited last year at their old location which had a bigger dance floor, but the atmosphere and music was still the BEST!!! The people are so nice! This year I signed my name on their wall...as you can see EVERYONE signs their name on the wall, and on the light fixtures and pretty much anywhere you can write! Sam says he enjoys listening to the music and watching me dance and having fun.....seriously ask him! La Bodequita was just down the street from our resort on Calle 5 so we went a couple of nights in a row. We did try some other Latin restaurants with music, one was on the beach which was kinda unique, but nowhere is as good as La Bodeguita! Love it!!!!
Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
We celebrated our 14th Anniversary (coming Nov 1st) in Mexico. We love it so much there that after debating about visiting other places, decided why mess with a good thing?
Within hours of arriving at THE ROYAL, Playa Del Carmen, the resort had a Caribbean night that was super fun. They had amazing food, a Latin Band and dancers.
Below is 5th Street, which was literally just a few steps from our resort. You can find pretty much everything in this shopping corridor. They have high end stores and then mom and pop shops were you can wheel and deal your price! Our FAVORITE thing to do is get massages. Last year we went to Veronica's Gold and loved it but this year we tried a new place that seriously was better (which we didn't think was possible). One hour massages for two for $50 - SERIOUSLY!!!!! Most of the therapist work at the resorts so they are certified and know their stuff.....it's by far our best thing on Calle 5.
One day we took a long walk along the beach in front of our resort. When we walked for a long time, it was really quite and peaceful with just a few people around. We lay on the sand and could only hear the waves. It was so relaxing. Thinking about moments like this help me slow down. It was definitely a highlight of that day!
