The Honeymoon's Over...

Jep and I recently got back from our honeymoon in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We were originally scheduled to leave shortly after the wedding but due to the swine flu craze we decided to postpone.

The honeymoon got off to a rocky start. First, we missed our flight out of Altanta even though we arrived to the airport with 3 hours to spare. And then upon arrival of our hotel, we had $400 stolen from our room safe. Although we were upset about the start of the honeymoon, we tried not to let it stop us from enjoying ourselves.

We spent the majority of our days lounging by the hotel pool and beach enjoying all the free Corona on draft and frozen drinks we could have asked for! Jep also discovered a new hobby--water polo. He spent 3 out of the 5 days playing. And, wow, there were a few vicious games!

When we finally did get off hotel grounds, we ventured out to Playa del Carmen one night. We ate dinner at an authenic Mexican restaurant and strolled up and down the crowded streets. We really enjoyed the nightlife there and I'd love to go back for another visit sometime!

We also ventured out to the ancient Mayan site of Tulum. It was incredible listening to the history of the Mayan people told by our tour guide who did not leave out any details about the Mayan beliefs, how the structures came to be, and even the human sacrifices that took place on the site.
