Cancun

We arrived yesterday to lovely weather in Cancun. Apparently it has been raining most days so everyone is happy with the sunshine. Our hotel room looks out onto a lovely beach that wasn't there last week. Storms and high tides had washed it away. There is a dredging operation that is bringing the sand back.

As we sat at the pool bar last night--on stools outside the water, our good friends, Sheilah, Tim and Ed joined us. At supper we met up with other couples from the meeting and ate in a great seafood restaurant. I had cerviche while Glen had Baja oysters. We both had grouper for our main course. The food was delicious but the restaurant was empty.

I think we are seeing the affect of H1N1 for when we went to the golf course, Kukulcan, we were the only ones on the driving range. Very few carts passed us on the way to the 10th hole. As we ate lunch--Glen had a Mexican hot dog while I had shrimp tacos--we watched two groups of golfers finish their rounds and no one came behind them.

The beach is almost empty and like Baja there is no swimming due to the undertow. You would think everyone would be crowding the pool but you would be wrong. I do believe the hotel is half empty.

After a quick cool-down in the hotel room, we are now off to enjoy the beach but in the shade as I have had enough sun for today. Curse being fair!!
