Honeymoon


Hmm, yeah, it's been a while since the last update. Here's a picture from my honeymoon to Mexico this past summer. After just shoveling some snow outside, what a welcome sight this picture is!
While Matt and I did stay in Cancun we took a day trip out to Machu Picchu in order to see some ruins. That was one of my requirements for the destination and scuba diving was one of his. We did both! The ruins were beautiful but it was hot - stand there and sweat kind of hot! We didn't let that get us down though, we walked all over and saw as much as we could. I got some great pictures that I'm pretty proud of!
The scuba diving was also fantastic. Despite having gone diving in Guam, Fiji, and Puerto Rico, which each had their individual perks, I must say the the fish we saw in Mexico were the most I've seen anywhere. Matt had a minor mishap in that he sort of forgot how to control his air intake and ended up getting carried away in a current, he did pretty well for only his second time out in the open water! LOL! Yeah, I did get a little nervous when he was barely a blurp on the radar screen and the dive guide was tapping for him to come back down, but he was fine. His great sense of humor allowed us to laugh about it plenty when we got back up on the boat! Overall it was a really nice trip to get away and have some time together. With lots of relaxing by the pool, dinners out and a night downtown in a hotspot for the locals, who wouldn't have fun? It was a blast!
