03a – Playa del Carmen

	For some odd reason I got up around 4am and couldn’t sleep. So I figured I’d hit up the Internet and check emails. ..and sure enough, there was a bunch of chaos at home on the network. On the last cruise it was an e-mail server that crashed. This time, it was a tower transmitter that bombed and took a bunch of people offline. Thankfully Dan (one of my techies) got it back up and running before too long. sigh.The jogging track looked pretty dramatic in the quiet morning. The photo doesn’t do it justice. The glass windows at the left forms the top of the 5-story atrium.
	Water looks a little nicer out at sea.
	Sandra and the girls got up around 5:30 or 6 and we had coffee & hot chocolate before breakfast.

	Sheryl & me, chilling out, having some breakfast as we started to pull into Mexico. It was a simple breakfast, but .. pretty cool. Just me ‘an my babe.We cruised along the Mexican shoreline for about 2 hours before we docked in Calica.

	Ice-cream for breakfast dessert. Whatever.Crazy kids.
	Apparently some hurricanes in the past year had knocked out the normal ports, so we pulled into an industrial-type port and disembarked there.
