Week Two Mexico

Week Two Mexico
Week two Mexico I am amazed at how the staff keeps the grounds so clean. The staff is Mexican and most don’t speak very good English and they would tell you. I saw this as a great opportunity to try to learn some Spanish. After being there for a week the staff got to know us fairly well, we would try our Spanish they would try their English. It didn’t matter who it was the gardener, maids or servers they would all correct my Spanish and we would laugh. One day I was passing one of the gardeners I said Buenos Dias (good morning) he stopped me and proceeded to give me a five minute lesson on the difference of saying good morning to one person or many. I thanked him and proceeded on my way. Every time I seen him I would greet him using the right term for the time of day, he would say perfect or another lesson would start, which was fine with me.
We spent a morning fishing didn’t catch much for fish but did see a spectacular performance by a pod of about twenty five dolphins. They followed the boat popping up here and there sometimes coming clear out of the water and doing a mega splash before disappearing again. Also seeing a flock of pink Flamingos flying in formation. That made the fishing excursion all worth it.
An eight-hour snorkel tour was on our agenda absolutely crystal clear water and lots of reef to adventure in, millions and millions of fish schools to actually swim among.
We took all day tour into the mountains to an old coffee plantation, through the jungle to a forty-foot waterfall. Where we swung like Tarzan into the bottom of the waterfall.
Also happened to find a shop making cloth on a loom by hand, the Mexican patterns are unique and remarkably beautiful, this was not a shop for tourism it is a full operational family business.
Thanks to all the wonderful people we met in Mexico
