Hola!

We are back from Cozumel, Mexico. Got home about 10:30 just before the temps dropped and it started snowing. I got very emotional as we descended into Denver and on the drive home, that my temporary escape from reality was over. I could have stayed there for much longer.

The weather wasn't as good as I'd hoped, but not bad. We lost out on a few days of snorkeling because of high winds. We did get a jeep for a couple of days and drive around. We did swim and interact with dolphins. We have photos and video. It was awesome!

We had a nice room at the resort and met really nice people, both visitors and locals. It was truly a respite from the world here. Cozumel is still a really nice place. You can still see some of the damage from hurricane Wilma. Since my original visit in 1985, I was happy to hear that they have put a cap on new building, and have set aside areas as national parks which are protected.

I think could live there. But, here we are back in reality. I have two doctor appts this week, one with my regular oncologist and one with the study doctor. My mother comes in Thursday afternoon, and soon the holidays will be upon us.

Maybe I'll try to stay on Mexico time for awhile. Sigh!

¡Bienvenido a casa!

OK, we'll speak English: Welcome home!

Winds or cool weather, Mexico is a wonderful place to be! And reality is only a plane ride.

I'm thrilled that you had a good time, but I'm glad to have you back as well.

Glad you got to have time with the dolphins.

Glad you're back, but still sorry for the reason for it.

Kathy and Jim just returned from Peru - they swam with pink river dolphins in the Amazon, and had temps in the 80s. Their furnace died, so I was sleeping with Suki and Boo for warmth for a week.

If there's anything I can do, please let me know!

Jane,

Do you remember the "pelican incident" in San Diego? We wanted to pet the dolphins and feed them herring....waited and waited in line for our chance to buy the herring...and got dive bombed by the pelicans.
You and I went to my first National and helped with Mr. Freeze, my 13 year old KeeSha stood during our drive from Denver to the Lawrence Welk center. We had snow going over the pass leaving CO and I was wearing shorts you were smarter...
I love you....Michele, KeeSha, Mr. Freeze, Bliss, Icy, Natalie, Luna, Vixen, Sting, and Velvet....
