There were plenty of shells on the beach in Riviera Maya, most of them had occupants in them though. My husband picked a few very very small ones to bring back to Zoe. He put them on the countertop in the bathroom, and a couple of them got up and moved. Oops. Those he had to take back to where he got them from.

Here’s a few pictures of a hermit crab that he followed. As well as one of the many lizards that lived at the resort. Sometimes I’d forget about the lizards and then they’d scare the crap out of me when they’d scurry past me on my walks.

There were signs in front of our villa that said there were Howler Monkeys living in the brush. I never saw one, but I looked.
Here is the beach. We spent our first morning here, mostly snorkling. I saw a lot of fish, and got the bejeezus scared out of me with a sea urchin in some coral I was about to float over. You’d have thought Jaws was coming up on me with all the flailing I was doing.
My husband came across this crab, isn’t he cute?
Do you remember the bridges I wrote about? This is what they looked like, you had to walk up and down them to get anywhere.
That’s all for now! Have a great weekend!
