6/2/16 ~ 6/8/16
The weather in Texas and (elsewhere) has been horrendous with massive flooding and property destruction. Haley was so tired of the rain and couldn't wait to get to "fun in the sun". Their 9:30 a.m. arrival in Cancun was delayed until around 2:30 p.m. due to the plane being grounded because of weather and then engine problems. It was a long and hairy day for them, but we finally swooped them up at the ferry and got them to the island.
Little did they know that the weather has followed them! In the next 2 days we were expecting thunderstorms for the first time in a good month. So the 2nd day of their vacation we got them on a boat for a whale shark tour. It is a little over an hour to get to the spot where the whale sharks feed on an upwelling of plankton due to the current and sea floor landscape here. Unfortunately, no whale sharks were spotted that day....the incoming weather has driven them down deeper. But....not all was lost as they got into a school of huge manta rays and were able to swim with them. Not something Charlie and I have experienced.
So, the rain arrived, but in between showers Haley and Bobby used our scooter and Haley gave her sweet husband a tour of the island. There was a lot of laying around and reading and then at night some fierce "Farkle" (or 10,000) playing was going on. The week was up way too soon and they were back to Austin and work. We so enjoyed their visit and I think they had a good time too!
