No earth shattering events to report today... by Friday, we were more than ready to chill out and relax. We headed out to Progreso and settled on a spot a little farther down the beach this time. Only occasionally would a peddler venture out to where we were, looking to sell mangos or pastries and treats.
Once again, the kids spent most of their time in the water, swimming like fish. The water was a bit cloudier than the last time, perhaps stirred up by recent weather out at sea.
The water color seems to be the big difference between the northern gulf beaches and the Caribbean shores of the Riviera Maya. Here the water has a greener hue, while the Caribbean side has bluer water.
We passed a few hours enjoying the sea and the sand, then packed up in search of lunch. A nice breezy table in the window at Los Arcos was the perfect remedy for the midday heat.
The kids sipped limonadas and enjoyed the beachfront view, while waiting for their quesadillas to be served. Our meals were tasty and the wait staff was friendly and attentive.
The remainder of the afternoon and evening was spent at home, resting and enjoying steaks for dinner. We watched 'Saludos Amigos' with the kids before bed, a Disney movie appropriately themed for our trip south of the border.
