Akumal, Mexico

 DS (middle son) and I have just returned from Akumal, Mexico.    He is a SCUBA diver -- I'm more of a snorkel here-n-there in the bay and Cenotes.   (Taak Bi Ha)   DS has a video (pocket sized) camera full of awesome dive videos -- For me, I just enjoyed snorkeling.    Saw many sea turtles, stingray, lion fish, schools of fish.   In one of the Cenotes, there was a shallow area where the school of dark color fish knibble on feet and legs.    


Sharing some of our photos:


 Moon rise over the bay.  (middle son).


 Many pelicans.
