Mexico Trip 2007, Akumal Mexico

12 May 2007 - 19 May 2007

This year was the family trip. We had a great time and I got lots of dive time in this year. Art and I visited the Coba ruins and our timing was great as we visited there early morning. Around 10:30 busloads of people started showing up as we were leaving. We visited our friend who owns a streetside tourist shop and they had a four month old spider monkey whos mother was eaten by a croc. In a couple more months, they'll take him to a monkey reserve.
