Excursions

The cruise overall we liked, but there were pros & cons. Would we do it again? Yes, but I think I would go with a different cruise line & bigger boat. We didn't get sea sick while on the boat, but we definitely felt the boat a rockin :)

Now by far both of our favorite things about the trip was the two off shore excursions. One day was Progreso, Yucatan, Mexico. Here we took a cooking class where we learned how to make two kinds of salsa, guacamole, and a true Mexican margarita. Then we learned how to Salsa dance. This by far was my favorite memory from the trip!

Our restaurant



Getting ready to make some salsa...yummy



One of the keys -grill your tomatoes, onion & garlic.



We may not have made it as good as the chef, but it sure was close.



Never had better guacamole, it's all in the ingredients.



We're now Master Chef's.
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures from the Salsa dancing. Everyone was too busy trying to get the steps down to take any pictures ;) We may have mastered the cooking, but I can't say we mastered the salsa dance!



Day two, Cozumel, Mexico. Here we took a tour of the Mayan ruins and then went to a private beach.

The tour guide was great, he was actually Mayan. The mosquitos that ate us alive, not so great.



The view from our beach chairs. Notice at the top of the picture, it's not just an umbrella, it's an actual hut.



We had our lunch brought to our beach chairs where we had the best Mexican meal ever. Ben was actually speechless after his first bite.
