To begin our day we were able to catch our lunch for a cook out on the beach. We also did snorkling on the Belize Barrier Reef at Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley off of San Pedro. World class Marine Parks, besides countless fish we dove with turtles, nurse sharks, and a bull shark.

This one tasted great with onions, peppers, butter, and some seasoning.

We just took out Olivia's braids that she had done in Sayulita. After a jump in the ocean her hair went straight again.

The ruins of Tulum were spectatular. What a beatiful place this must have been during it's prime.
