Vacation: Part 2

One of the other days of our vacation, we took the ferry from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel to go snorkeling. It was definitely an ordeal to actually get to the fish, between trying to find a place to park, trying to find some person at the dock who had our tickets, going from ferry to boat to other boat to other boat, sitting on the top deck of one of those boats for well over half an hour with the sun very much showing its face while we waited for some lazy, slow people to come out of their resort and join us, and putting on a life jacket that went over your head and instead of having arm holes had a strap that gave you a *ehem* wedgie...

However, once we finally got in the water, it was great ;) I was really glad that we had bought a waterproof digital camera before our vacation. Read: the night before we left... great planning on my part, right? In reality, I had already bought the disposable ones to take, but when I paid for them and realized how much it was to get an entire roll of film developed (haven't done that in years!) with no guarantee of liking any of the pictures and no way to zoom or crop pictures, I started wondering about digital cameras.

As it turned out, they weren't that expensive and I'm so glad we bought it! We just had to be careful to not drop it, but the little guy survived zip-lines and snorkeling and waves. Anyway, there's my little commercial...

And once again, I regress. It was fun seeing so many fish up close, and to not just see them in a tank. Here are some of the pictures we took, and yes, I did try to pick the best ones. There were just so many fish, and knowing that every single one of them is different once again makes me in awe of our awesome Creator God. Who else could come up with a way to make every single one just a little bit different?

This is the coast of Playa del Carmen as we were leaving on the ferry:
