1 Country down, 11 More to go. . .
Well I have just returned from my first adventure. Isle Mujeres, Mexico. My husband and I first traveled to this island gem last year, and after falling for the charm of this place decided immediately that we would be back. After my trip from Ecuador fell through, and my husband's plans not working out also, we decided to lift our spirits and return to one of our favorite places. So about 12 hours before our flight was departing the hotel was booked, bags were packed, and excitement set in.
The fact that we were here less than a year ago didn't dissuade us in any way shape or form from going again. Although last time we rented a golf cart and toured the entire island, visited the turtle farm (Tortugranja), accomplished a couple more dives including an underwater museum (Museo Subacuático de Arte,) there was one thing that we were dying to try, but were not able to. . .that was until now.
That's right we swam with the WHALE SHARKS!!!!!
Before I get to that though, let me begin by telling you a little about Isle Mujeres. This place is without a doubt one of the most enchanting, and peaceful islands we have visited. Although it's size is small, there are hidden treasures around every corner. There is a saying in spanish "MI CASA, ES SU CASA," ( my house is your house,) and that is exactly the feeling you get the minute you step off the ferry and onto the dock. Isle Mujeres is a fishing village, and although you can see the hotel zone of Cancun in the distance, has done a good job at maintaining a quaintness about it, with it's cobblestone streets, sidewalk cafes, and small boutique hotels.
So come with us as we visit ISLE MUJERES, MEXICO!!!!
