| Finally, Rob and Tom on a beach day! |
Sunday, Nov. 17 was our beach day. The clouds finally departed and the sun shone brightly as temperatures warmed near 90F in Cancun, Mexico.
After a 6:30 a.m. breakfast, we decided to walk the beach as the rough
waves continued to crash upon the sand. We walked for about 2 hours and
looked for shells as we did.

DAMAGED HOTELS- As we walked north along the beach there were
several hotels that were hurricane damaged and abandoned. They were also
stripped of resources that would be used in other new structures. One
hotel was roofless and we could see where a pool once sat, only by blue
tiles along a broken wall facing the ocean. I don't know which storm
that was that caused the destruction, but I would guess it was hurricane
Wilma in 2005.

Tom managed to get a nice tan, and Rob, despite sunscreen, managed to get a red-sunburnt chest and shoulders (although covered with a shirt and towel most of the time.

READING/WATCHING - We did a lot of reading on the beach and a lot of people watching. There were a LOT of people that should NOT have taken their shirts off... Of course, they did offer shade to little kids that couldn't find an umbrella. :)
