Ya Basta!

Well... Finished up my first trip down here on Saturday. It was a fairly successful trip. I was a little unorganized due to not having been on the road for a while and personal life turbulance but despite those bumps in the road things ended up alright.

For the most part, the group was easy to please - very polite, very helpful, liked all the activities and were flexible. All with the exception of Mr. Boston I think was slightly clueless to the fact that his "nails-on-the-chalkboard" sense of humor and offensive comments were making him less and less popular with the group daily.

The last couple of days were pretty good... the group got to spend some time at the beach, even if it was so windy it felt like your face was getting sandblasted. I suppose a sandblasted beach day is better than the -20 degree weather afflicting most of the midwest at the moment!

And I guess my highlight of the second week came during the Jungle ATV tour in Playa del Carmen. A 2 hour tour of twisting trails through the Yucatecan Jungle with a stop at a really beautiful private cenote. I laid back the whole trip, distancing myself from the group and then would burn it to try and catch up... it was great. Even got some air on some rocks which I thought was pretty impressive for a novice quad-biker!

Anyways now it's a week off at the beach catching up on accounts and preparing for the next trip. Hope that everyone up north makes it through the week without their car battery dying or without losing any fingers to frostbite!
