THE WEDDING

We arrived in Cancun on April 6th to attend the wedding of Dylan and Dawn. Dylan is the son of good friends of ours ( Tom and Ruth Smith ) and we were fortunate enough to be invited to the wedding. We stayed at the Mayan Palace which was quite nice and very big so we ended up doing alot of walking. As with most holidays we ate to much and did a lot of laying around, however we did get to 4 yoga classes and sweated out a bunch of the calories we consummed.

All said and done it was a very nice week.


The Mayan Palace





The resort was very nice and we enjoyed staying there however we were out in the middle of nowhere. We were about 40 miles from Cancun and 20 miles from Playa Del Carmen which we went into one day. They had a lot of facilities including a Cyber Cafe which is where I learned Duplium had been hit by a Tornado while we were away.

Playa Del Carmen



We spent a day in Playa Del Carmen just walking and checking out the stores. The only purchases we made was a hat and a t-shirt. The picture on the right is myself and the best salesman in the world ( he was a crook ) who sold me the hat I have on my head. I have still to wear it. One nice thing happened as we were headed to one store and were off the beaten path a little bit. I dropped my walled at didn't realize it and a lady chased me for two blocks to give it back to me, needless to say she got a large reward as I had all my poker money tucked away.

The Whole Clan

Outdoors, sunny day, tropical setting, beautiful ladies, guys all decked out in Tommy Bahama shirts, beatiful bride, handsome groom. It was almost surreal.

The Bride and Groom ( Dylan and Dawn ) looked spectacular and the day couldn't have been more perfect for them.

The highlight of the trip for Kathy and I was getting a chance to catch up with old friends. We had not seen Tom and Ruth for a few years and it was really good to see them again. They had not changed a bit as they looked exactly as they did the last time we saw them. Aside from the wedding we were able to get out for dinner one night and bring each other up to date. It was a good night.

See y'all back in Texas.
