Diving and dining on the reef

There is a reef that runs from the south of Cancún to Honduras. It is huge! Long at the very least. We have seen it from many different locations. Puerto Morelos was awesome, but we were told that we must purchase a tour for gringos... Obviously you could imagine our response. Good thing we picked up slang and curse words quickly-not to mention our ideas of globalization and capitalism. Further on in Akumal we lived the pirates dream. We snorkeled the evening we got there and noticed many spots where the local sea turtles were laying their eggs. We were prohibited from camping on the beach due to this scenerio, but for some reason it is totally cool to build walkways and walls for adjacent condos. Yay capitalism! Nearing dusk we got fruit from a stand and 19 coconuts from a nearby tree and gourged ourselves on coco. Fat city. We rested on a pedestrian over pass of the highway so we did not get eaten alive by mosquitoes, then found an awesome camp. The next day was almost all snorkeling, we saw eagle rays, coral fish, angel fish of every color, and a few sea turtles. The following day in Tulúm, I speared a fish grilled it and it was wonderful. Just before taking a nap I had a great sample of coco. Life is going pretty well at the moment. We are looking for nearby cenotes (seh no tays) that are under ground fresh water you can swim and dive in before heading to Belize.
