Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, January 26, 2013

I'm just uploading some more pictures from my morning wandering around the beach at Playa del Carmen near downtown. The beaches have a lot of beauty here. I had huevo rancheros on the strip before heading up town and catching a taxi back to the Iberostar Paraiso Maya resort. A turtle resides in a pond in the middle of the Iberostar resort. It likes being massaged by the bubbling fountain water. I booked a late afternoon swim with dolphins. Our very helpful Best Day travel agent who works with Westjet Travels,  booked my swim with the dolphins. There are some pretty photogenic iguanas on the walk. Delphinous has their own photographers which was good. My hands were full swimming, stroking and holding on to the dolphin. Tonight there is a beautiful full moon.

Delphinus, Swimming With Dolphins, Mexico, 2013

I really really enjoyed this. The female bottlenosed dolphin's name was Kaan which means "sky" in the original native Mexican language. I was swimming with the dolphins, pushed through the water by dolphins, had dolphins jumping over me, playing with dolphins and even got kissed by KAAN. Sailing I've been surrounded by dolphins as far as the eye can sea travelling off the Mexican coast. I always seem to be joined by dolphins near the San Juan Islands and often in the Strait. I've even had dolphins swimming about me when I was night scuba diving. That truly was exciting but this was simply wonderful.
