Steve in a Speedo’s Speedo Has Been in the Ocean!

Sorry I’ve been a bad blogger, as I’ve been unable to swing by anyone’s blog for the past week. That’s because Pharmie and I just got back from Cozumel!! My last week of posts were all written up over a week ago and set up publish automatically (so no one would suspect anything and try to rob our house - yep, we’re paranoid like that).

I think we picked a good week to be gone. Last night (Friday) on the local news, we heard that here in the Twin Cities, it had JUST climbed above 0 for the first time since Monday!! And we wanted to complain because it rained in paradise for 2 days...

I won’t bore you with too many photos, but here are a few fun ones. (If you want to see 60 photos of us having a great time in Cozumel, click here.)

First of all, as the title of this post suggests, here are 3 shots of us underwater. This one is from our snorkeling excursion...

...and these 2 are from Pharmie and I just bumming around the resort:

We spent 2.5 hours one day walking up and down the beach:

Exploring San Gervasio Ruins, Pharmie found a big tree growing out of a shallow cave...

...and I found a sombrero and a ukulele.

I found out that I LOVED Mojitos...

...and that parrots named Pepe LOVE to bite my shoulder.

We played “Beach Games” one day, and our team won (thanks to a clutch performance by Pharmie and I as the last 2 legs of the “Dizzy Lizzy” relay). But the first event got us COMPLETELY covered in flour. When we tried to wash it out, it just turned into paste. Pharmie never got her suit fully clean after this:

And I was pulling paste off my chest hair for HOURS:

In closing, I’ll leave you with 5 purdy pictures from our trip:

Driftwood and Conch Shells at Sunset


Plants Growing Out of the Rocky Cliff


Waves Breaking on the SE Side of the Island


The Arch at San Gervasio Ruins

And I’ll post some photos and stories of our workouts on Cozumel shortly (we were able to work up a good sweat running outside!). Right now, I’m off to celebrate my nephew’s first birthday!
