There were lots of other activities to do while we were on vacation in Mexico. Here is a lifesize chess board, where you had to keep moving around the board to figure out your next move, and how you wanted to proceed. Following this….
…it was then off to the ping pong table. Following this, it was then off to the canopy again for another nap, listening to the ocean, and relaxing. I will show you some views of this as well coming up as I wrap up the Mexican adventure over the next few days.

To help celebrate National Registered Dietitian’s Day today, I am going to discuss one of my favorite colors of produce: red! Red fruits and vegetables offer a great deal of vitamins and minerals that help maintain a healthy heart, vision, immunity, and like the other colors, help reduce cancer risks. Each color offers different nutrients, which is why we encourage you to get a balanced and colorful diet, ensuring you are meeting your nutrient requirements and aiding in disease prevention. Try adding some colorful red produce to your diet!
Fruits: cherries, cranberries, pomegranate, red/pink grape fruit, red grapes, watermelon
Vegetables: beets, red onions, red peppers, red potatoes, rhubarb, tomatoes

As we work our way through the color wheel, we come to some of the brightest and richest colors: purple and blue. Purple and blue fruits and vegetables offer great antioxidants and anti-aging benefits. They can also help you with memory, urinary tract infections, and reduce cancer risks. Next time you’re at the grocery store, try adding a few selections of purple and blue produce to your cart!
Fruits: blackberries, plums, purple grapes, and raisins
Vegetables: eggplant, purple cabbage, purple-fleshed potato

The snorkeling was very good in Mexico. Part of the adventure the one day, after snorkeling out in the ocean covering about a mile, we came back and went snorkeling in one of the caves. Very colorful, and scenic, but very cold, or as they said, “very refreshing!” Here is Sarah and I posing at the turn around point.
This is one view of what we got to see above the surface of the water. Below the water, again was very colorful, and crystal clear. There was not much for fish here, as the bulk of this water was fresh water. Stay tuned as we continue to exlpore Mexico the active way….

This was the cenote where we went snorkeling. The top right of the picture is the deck we got to jump off to get in the water, and on the left side is the zip line we got to go down in as well. The snorkeling was great here, lots of things to look at, very clear water. Spent about 1 hour here. Following this, we got to go into one of the caves to go snorkel, and I will show pictures of this tomorrow.
Here I am being pushed on the zip line. This, and the jump off of the deck, were a lot of fun! This is also part of a good vacation, right??
