After a rough night of sleeping because it was so hot we slept in and then packed up our things to get ready for check out at 11. After we checked out of our room we ended up sitting in the breezeway of Celeste Vida and talking to Ken and Karen and playing with their 5 dogs for a couple of hours while waiting for our family to come meet us. The plan was to go see the pink flamingos at their breeding area. You can see hundreds of them and apparently it's really something amazing to see. We unfortunately did not get to see them. I had read that after 2 in the afternoon it's not work paying for the boat ride because the flamingos move in the afternoon to escape the heat. Since the rest of our family was late arriving and didn't get to Celestun until 1 we decided we shouldn't do it. That ended up being a really smart decision because about 30 minutes after a tropical storm moved in. As we were leaving town we could see all of the people tht had paid for the flamingo tours being brought back in. I'm sure they did not get a refund of their money either.
Chris and I took the girls down to the beach in front of Celeste Vida where Makenzie immediately started gathering shells. She has always loved shells and has been a collector of them for some time now. I have brought her shells from Thailand and from Puerto Rico and now she has some from the Gulf of Mexico.
Since it was lunch time we decided to get something to eat at one of the restaurants along the beach. This time we went to La Palapa and it was even better than the one we went to the day before. What I liked about this one is that it was really cool inside and had a nice breeze going through it. The service was 5 star and the food was really good. A lot of the same dishes as the previous day and just as tasty.
On the way back we had quite the tropical storm to drive through. I guess that's why it's called the rainy season!
