Mexican dream come true.

With this view from our room, the story starts.
We had a wonderful week in Mexico, Playa del Carmen.
We stayed at the Grand Coco Bay hotel and were spoiled for a week. It was plain wonderful.
We had so many experiences that were once in a lifetime experiences. My dream of visiting the ruins in Mexico along with swimming with dolphins came true, and I even got more than I hoped for when we swam in the cenotes and snorkled with stingrays. Being in the jungle river, and seeing it all was an amazing adventure.
The Mexican people were heart warming and helpful. We never felt threatend in any way.

It was amzing to listen to the guide telling us about the mayan's and their life. It was like reading the Book of Mormon, the stories were so much the same , allthough the places we vistited were not from that era, the culture and way of life was the same, I just felt like I knew more than they did , having read the Book of Mormon. Amazing experience, it strenghthen my testemony and seeing what's going on in Mexico today , the story goes on. Kind of good , kind of sad.
