Honeymooooooooon!

This is Frijoli (roughly translated= Beans)! our new iguana friend who rode home with us in Stanley's pants. When we went around town he would ride in my hair or on Stanley somewhere...













There were huge iguanas everywhere! We were in heaven. It was fun trying to find them. There were also a ton of monitors! Weird...We loved Mexico! It was warm and way humid (the kind where you just feel wet no matter what), the ocean was around 80 degrees! Our hotel was right on the beach, it was so nice! We went on the stoney island tour & went horseback riding, Stanley's horse was a little brat! She would try to hurry to the front of the line and almost ran Stanley into a tree :)




Nothing more relaxing then drinking out of coconuts! THe acutual drink was gross, but the experience was cool haha





















All the shops and vendors had these nasty little glazed frogs! They were totally alive at some point, but now they're just decorative we guess...kinda cool...eh....



























































This is the view of the pool at our hotel! It was pretty neat, there were bars in all the pools & stools in the water. One pool had the bar behind a waterfall! They looked cool, but we didn't use them, of course.









We went to dinner at the Italian restraunt at the hotel. Right outside there were these huge wax things where tons of candles had melted! One of our favorite memories of the trip was the "Live Spanish Singer!" at the restaurant. He ended up only singing Frank Sinatra songs in English, just with a Spanish accent, like this "Strangers en di night, eschanging glansis, wandring in di night, what where der chances, we'd be making lub before di night was tru!" It was awesome.



This is the lobby at our hotel. Crazy fountain!


Right where we drove in, there was a huge a huge aviary filled with Macaws, then on either side of the entry way-huge aviaries with peacocks!, then in the back were aviaries with parakeets and lovebirds! It was so cool! We loved it!
