Blog # 41: CANCUN 9

During our Cancun trip, unfortunately we had a stormy day. Wednesday poured down rain the entire day. We expected that the rain would die down after our morning walk to the nearest starbucks location. After we drank our hot steamy lattes, the rain was still coming down harder than we had expected. To kill some time we went shopping at the gigantic mall that the starbucks was located in. We shopped, shopped, and did some more shopping. We were almost sick of shopping by this point because we have been there for almost 3 hours just going inside all the stores and blowing our money away.
The rain decided to finally calm down right around lunch time. We decided to walk back to our lovely new resort that we were staying at to grab some lunch. We ate at the all inclusive area of our resort. I wasn’t super hungry, but since it was free I decided to pig out! We then went to the travel agents desk to attempt and book a scuba diving excursion for Thursday since that was our last full day there. I knew I did not want to scuba dive on Wednesday since it was stormy and a bit cold. I went to the desk and was disappointed by the news I was told. The young Mexican man said that due to the inclement weather, all the activities were going to be pushed back to Thursday. I was upset because I knew if I did not scuba dive on Thursday, then it would not ever happen. I left disappointed, but my dad reassured to me that since he bought a timeshare the day before, that we would be traveling back to Cancun and that I would be able to scuba dive then! That reassurance from my dad made me super excited, because that meant he would be taking me on another vacation!
We did not do much on Wednesday because of the weather. It was almost a waste of a day! Since we couldn’t go to the beach and lay out on the sand, we decided to hang out together and spend some time with each other. I still had fun with my sister and dad by sharing old funny stories and laughing with each other. That is what a vacation is about, right?
Since Wednesday was St. Patricks day, we all decided to go downtown for dinner and some fun. We walked down to Margaritaville because we heard that was a fantastic place to go, especially for the green holiday. It wasn’t as fun as we expected because everyone was laying low and not being as obnoxious as I expected. Then I realized it was only 5:30. The real fun probably didn’t start until around midnight when all the party hoppers come out. We all were served a bright green margarita on the house and we all enjoyed that. After we ate dinner we shopped around that shopping area because we haven’t been to it yet.
It was getting late and we decided to head back that way we could get up early and head to the beach if the weather was going to allow us to.
