The author spent a week in Cancun, Mexico. They stayed at a small hotel/diner called Coco Bongo. During their trip they visited Mayan ruins over 1000 years old, spent a day relaxing at Playa Las Perlas beach making sandcastles, attended a concert on the beach, went snorkeling and saw turtles and fish along with a harmless shark, and packed on their last day before leaving from Cancun International Airport on Saturday to return home tired but glad to be heading back.
