Day 5 - Dolphins!!!

Another great day down here on the Riveria Maya. This morning we woke up and were whisked away to go play with some dolphins. The trip to the site took us through the bustling town of Playa del Carmen which is very quaint - we are headed there later in the week to do some shopping and after seeing the town, we are really looking forward to it.

We arrived at the dolphin sanctuary and were issued a locker, a life preserver, a trainer named Stephanie and a dolphin named Maya. The dolphins were all adorable, but of course Maya was the best. :) She spent some free time with us just swimming around so that we can pet her and then showed off some of her best tricks including a kiss, a song, some clapping and a foot push that had us moving across the lagoon. We shared the experience with a couple from Canada who looked no older than us but had 2 teenage kids at home. We hope we look like them at their age!!!!
After our visit with Maya we came back to the hotel and lounged by the pool for several hours. Dinner was at the Lobster House where Laura downed MANY a Mango Martini - damn things are good!! It was an early night after all the excitement. Tomorrow - day at the beach!
