I cannot believe we have been in Mexico for two weeks already. It is amazing how fast you can settle somewhere and feel like you have lived there forever. We took a ferry from Ambergris Caye, Belize to Chetumal, Mexico, we then had to take a bus to Playa Del Carmen. The whole trip took way longer then expected as the ferry took about 3 hours, the line for customs was huge and we had to wait for our bus... We left Belize at 8 am and we did not arrive in Playa until 8 pm that evening.. made for a VERY long day.

We rented a two bedroom condo in Playacar, about a 20 minute walk to the action in downtown Playa Del Carmen. We were so happy to finally have a place we could call home for the next month. Our cute little condo had everything we needed and we quickly settled in.
We chose to stay in the Mayan Riviera as there is so much to do and see. We knew we could easily find new places to explore and stay busy.

| first day at the beach in Mexico |
The first few days we went to two different Cenotes ( A cenote is a natural pit, or sinkhole, resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath) and did some Christmas shopping

and then... our first guest arrived! YAY to a visit from Nana. As you know the girls go through phases where they are terribly homesick, this visit was an awesome pick me up and they couldn't wait until she arrived. The week was spent with another Cenote visit, a trip to Puerto Morelos, a walk along fifth avenue, a pirate cruise, a few trips to the beach, two date nights for Johnny and I and lots of much needed cuddle time. Despite her burn from the first day in the sun, and a total rain day when she arrived, I think she had a blast, and we were sorry to see her go...
