Cancun Day 3 - Catamaran Excursion

Most of the time in Cancun we had to ourselves and we didn't see work people very often. But they had booked a snorkeling catamaran excursion for us for Wednesday afternoon. We enjoyed a lazy morning, then headed to the bus to be taken to the harbor. It was pretty nice weather on shore, but as we got started we all noticed we were heading straight towards the storm clouds. I never understood why we couldn't have a change of plans and go the other direction. It was beautiful everywhere else. And sure enough, it rained and it rained. We snorkeled in light rain, which was nice, but the entire hour long boat ride there and back was in pouring rain. It was fun to snorkel around a bit, but then we were all pretty cold bc we couldn't get dry. We headed to a nice relaxing spot to eat lunch and play water volleyball, but it was pouring so hard you could hardly see. Most everyone hopped out for a quick swim but we ultimately cut the trip short and headed back to the shore. It was still fun to be around the others from work for the afternoon. 

That evening we went to a French restaurant with Russ and Mindy. We spent some time with them throughout the trip and we really enjoyed being with them. She was the dance teacher when I was in high school so I knew her back then a little bit. Their youngest daughter leaves for a mission in a few months so it was fun to get to know their family a little bit. After dinner we decided to check out the magic show that going on. It was surprisingly really entertaining. I got called up to help, as did Russ. That's what you get when you sneak in late and have to sit on the front row! It was a fun evening!
