Cancun - Isla Mujeres



Another day trip was to Isla Mujeres. We enjoyed an "Entertainment" boat ride. The four guys - captain & crew - did a hilareous re-enactment of Titanic and other assorted comedy-esque routines. Jaeden still talks about the funny boat ride. Most of the pics from the boat ride are in the slideshow on the previous post. We decided to stay on the boat to take a ride around the island. This is how we got the pictures of the crystal clear water. We also had an opportunity to swim in the water which felt great. Unfortunately, they were not able to anchor the boat as usual is relatively shallow water, so we all donned lifejackets for a more enjoyable swim.

One of the best stories from our Cancun trip was swimming in the water. I guess this was Jaeden's first experience swimming in salt water, as he had just turned 3. Anyways, even with a lifejacket, some of the water got in his mouth, which he did not like at all!! When I explained it tasted funny because it was salt water, his response was "I like the pepper water better!" For several months, he referred to normal water as pepper water. I think he also remembered having swam in the lake with his life jacket that summer, which of course did not have any salt!
