Back from Mexico!

And now onto MEXICO!

My sister and I had a very relaxing trip to Playa Del Carmen. We didn't have the best weather (just one day of actual sun) but it was nice to rest, read, drink margaritas, eat a ton of delicious guacamole, and explore. It rained almost the whole trip but we had a perfect beach day our first full day.

Loved the nautical street signs!


Our hotel is partnered with a great beach club, Mamitas, that was free for us to use. There is nothing better than just floating in the beautiful ocean on a sunny day! Then we could lounge on our chairs and soak up the sun (good thing we stayed all day since the sun never came out again!).

What it looked like during our non-sunny afternoon (had a small window without rain so we went to the beach):


I was sad we didn't get to go parasailing or snorkeling but the weather just wasn't right for those activities. We did do a really cool "adventure" in one of the underground rivers (perfect for a rainy day since you are underground). There are these underground, secret rivers and caves. We did the Rio Secreto and it was AMAZING!!! You wear a wetsuit, life vest, and helmet (with a light) and explore these caves formed by an underground river. There are some beautiful rock formations (think stalactites and stalagmites).

I'm on the right (the most unflattering outfit you could imagine!):


The photos below are ones I found on google (since you can't take a camera inside-the guide takes a photo of you):
