Saturday morning we went Zip Lining at the Huana Coa Canopy. This is the region of Mexico where the desert ends and the rain forests begin. Hence you have HUGE tropical trees mingled with Cacti. We had so much fun. Some of the landings were high up in trees and the last one we repelled off of. Our exursion included a tour of the tequilla plant nearby. It was interesting to learn how they make it, but no drinking it of course.
Upon our return to the hotel, we slipped into our suits and went to the beach. It was so pleasant. The water was nearly as warm as the air. We were body surfing with some friends and minding our own business when I got stung by a jelly fish, bad. Mostly these fish just swim beside you and every once in awhile their tentacles will slide over your arm or something. Not too bad, but this thing wasn't done with my arm. It had to attach itself to my back and just pulsate it's charges into my body. OUCH!! I spent the next few hours dealing with the pain in the privacy of our room. There were quite a few tears shed, but I was back to normal by morning.
We went to dinner with some of the other Dentists and their wives, then hit the beach for a sunset "wedding". Everyone wanted to play volleyball which I sat out of, but when the game switched to soccer, I joined in and took everyone by surprise when I scored the most goals. I think they underestimated the fat chick still suffering with a jelly fish sting.
We spent Sunday by the pool. There was NO WAY I was headed back into that ocean again. I got my yearly sunburn and didn't sleep well our last night. All in all it was such a relaxing trip and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. After having a weekend away, we realize yet again how important it is for us during this turbulent time to remove ourselves from the chaos and focus on one another. We are recharged and ready to deal with the business, family, church callings and demands by our children.

Ahhhhh... just reading that felt relaxing (except the jellyfish part). I love vacations.
I am so glad you took the time to get away. Richard and I need that. Our get away got cancelled last year when we decided to buy our house. It was a good trade off but I still need to get away. Good for you guys and way to be a soccer player!!
It sounds like you had a great getaway! Great job playing soccer! By the way, you're not a fat chic. You look great!
