We relaxed with coffee to yet another beautiful sunrise over the Caribe.  We see our nigh-time inhabitants (the iguanas) have been busy on the beach and the turtles are busy in the bay munching on sea grass.  The weather today is different and you could see it in the clouds of the morning sunrise.  A little bit windier so we decide to stay in Akumal and visit Yal-Ku Lagoon hoping that it's calmer there.  It is especially if you stay away from the mouth of the lagoon.  Mark and I make the mistake of snorkeling out there against the current and saw nothing, so started to swim back into calmer waters.  Aaaah, this is such a fun place to snorkel as there are so many coral formations and cave-like features to go in and out of, full of many different kinds of colorful fish. After snorkeling for a couple of hours, we actually got chilly.  I have never been chilly in Mexico before.  We get out of the water and dry off and decide to have the lunch of sandwiches and chips that we packed.  We also had cold beers in the cooler too, but we weren't quite ready for it.  The inside of the car was so warm we decided to reacclimate our body temperature to it's normal state.  I think we sat in the car for close to an hour enjoying the sauna like state.  Mark and Sara decided to go back in for more snorkeling as Jill and I took some video of them and walked around the grounds admiring the sculptures.  This is a great little place to visit with a nice parking lot and places to sit, even a couple of picnic tables and a little "store" shack with a few ammenities you might need while you're there.  The admission is about $6 US per person.
