A Romantic Getaway...Celebrating our 10 year Anniversary: Part 2

(I KNOW THIS IS A FOREVER LONG POST FOR PART 2...I EVEN CONDENSED IT A LOT, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT)

We got to Cancun around 4:30pm and it was windy but it wasn't humid and the temperature was in the 80's. We had a shuttle pick us up from the airport to take us right to our hotel. We checked into our beautiful hotel, Cancun Caribe Park Royal Grand.

The hotel had 3 restaurants and a little cafe. It also had 2 big pools. From our balcony you could only see one of the pools. We couldn't believe we were staying in a 4 star hotel for the cost we paid. The staff was so friendly. We also found a quiet place with hammocks. When we walked outside our door we were able to see the Lagoon across the street. It was so beautiful. It was fun to check everything out at our hotel. After all the exploring we got hungry and decided to eat at one of the restaurants in our hotel called La Concha. It was Pasta night and we made friends with the Pasta chef that worked there, her name was Candie. She cooked us her specialty that wasn't on the menu. It was delicious! Derek asked for seconds. Then of course they had an all you can eat buffet with salad, other pasta entrees and desserts. I liked the Arroz con Leche the best for dessert!

The next day we just spent all morning relaxing by the poolside. Catching some sun and swimming in the fun pool.

For Lunch we decided to adventure downtown and find a Mexican restaurant to eat at. So we rode the city bus that was so cheap, 50 cents a ride. We went to a place called... Tacolote. Derek ordered chicken fajitas and I pigged out on the all you can eat buffet. It was pretty good food, probably the best Mexican food we ate the whole time in Cancun. Then we went to Walmart to buy some snacks and water. We couldn't believe how a Walmart could be so different in another country. It seemed like the Walmart in Cancun was a party place with lots of loud music. Also at the cashier lines they had little children between the ages of 8-12 bagging the groceries. And of course living so close to the ocean the seafood was so fresh and uncovered you know when your getting close because of the smell. It was just new to me.
