Isla Mujeres, Mexico

For our 10th Anniversary, Teresa and I went to Isla Mujeres, Mexico. We made it out just as the swine flu panic started setting in! We had no idea until we got to the airport, so our week on the island was carefree and a great getaway. Recommmended to us by some friends who live on the island part of the year, we decided to meet our friends Adam and Sharie down there. Isla Mujeres is about 5 miles off the coast from Cancun, but light years apart in lifestyle and pace. Cancun is party central and mostly American. Isla is a more slowpaced, traditional Mexican fishing village.

The first shot is of the Sunset Grill, the restaurant at the complex we stayed at. We ate here several times, mostly because it was convienient, but it was also dang good. Next shot is of a lone sombrilla at sunset (of course those cervezas were already there), and another sunset shot at the beach in front of our condo. Other than one day of cruising the island in a golf cart, we never needed to venture more than a 15 minute walk from our condo. The 4th shot is the view from our balcony, and finally the last shot of a fishing boat just offshore. Yes, those are really the colors!
