Michael and I stayed at the Galt House the first two nights after our wedding. The room we had was great! It had a living space with a couch, coffee table, TV and sink. Then there was a hallway which had a large mirror and space to get ready and was also conveniently located near the bathroom and shower. The bedroom had two queen size beds and another TV cabinet. VERY nice!
On Sunday, we ate brunch and dinner at Cafe Magnolia. It was delicious! Michael chose an option for dinner where you design your own hamburger and they have several different options for you to choose from!
EARLY Monday morning, we drove to the airport (losing more of the Just Married window clings to the wind)! We flew from Louisville, KY to St. Paul, MN and then to Cancun, Mexico.
Upon our arrival, we were attaked by sharks! Not the typical sharks that you know of swimming in the ocean, but men and women trying to "sell" you the best deal on attractions you may want to visit or time shares you may want to invest in. Don't worry though! We survived without any scars!!
While in Mexico, they refer to minutes and "Mexican Minutes," which are a little longer! I am not sure how long it took our driver to get us to the hotel, but it seemed to take a long time and yet not long enough to drive those 13 miles! We made it safely though and that is the most important thing!
The Riu Cancun is an all-inclusive resort, so we just hung out there all week! They have four restaurants, four elevators, three swimming pools, two gazebos, a bar/ theatre, a danceclub, a spa and much, much more! We did go for a couple of walks and purchased a few pieces of pottery to take home as souvenirs, but that was about the extent of our travels.
Breakfast was served beginning at 7:00 and we were usually there then or shortly there after. Three or four mornings, we went straight to the beach after breakfast, enjoyed the cool wind blowing off the ocean and hoped for a little bit of sunshine before it was time to go back inside.
We spent a lot of time in our room where there was a stocked refrigerator, a dual sink restroom, a television with a couple English channels and a king size bed (which made us very grateful to come home and sleep in our comfortable new bed at home). Don't get me wrong! The bed wasn't terrible, but Mexican standards aren't the same as American!
All in all, it was a great time for us to reflect upon what the Lord has done for us, enjoy His creation and get to know each other better!
