I’m writing you looking out at this gorgeous view of the Caribbean sea from the balcony of our hotel room in Mexico. This past week was one big wedding celebration for us, a whole gaggle of friends and family came in from 13 different states (and even Canada ). The week started off a little mellow with Wii battles and barbeque’s with smores.

And grew into arm wrestling contests and poker games…

The day before the wedding we had a group of 20+ go out for a whale watch out of provincetown at the tip of the cape.

The whale watch started a little slow…but quickly picked up after a hand full of our friends got a nice salt spray from the ocean.

We saw several sea birds that included Northern Gannets, Wilson’s storm petrels, and sooty shearwaters. To see more pictures of the birds click here. Make sure to double click on the thumbnail to see the larger photos.

And of course, there were minke and humpback whales. You can actually see the little fish jumping out of the whale’s mouth…and see that the gull has taken the opportunity to grab an easy lunch.

I’ll be posting pictures from the wedding and reception soon for those of you who couldn’t be there, as well as pictures of the flora and fauna of the Riviera Maya as soon as Josh and I start exploring.
