Cozumel - Our Mexico Adventure - March '09

In late March, we went down to Cozumel to shoot Ellen and David Avery's wedding. We met David while he lived out here (he's our good friend Allison's brother) & have been friends ever since. We were stoked and honored when they asked us to come be a part of their wedding.

We went for a week and had blast! Our hotel was called The Cozumel Palace, an all-inclusive resort, where the staff and service were beyond our wildest expectations. If you drop a fork, two people swoop in to get it for you. If your drink is empty, they bring you two more. Some of the things we did for the week - we went on a sunset cruise, snorkeled, saw some ancient Mayan ruins, scuba dove, swam with dolphins, drove around in the crappiest rental car ever (it took us a few hours to figure out how to put it into reverse!) and ate and drank our way through the small island. Good times! Here are some pictures of all the fun. Enjoy!

Dave multi-tasking. He gets off easier than my other assistants!


The awful car we couldn't figure out how to put in reverse for a day. Go Chevy Comfort!


Living the Mayan dream...




Marley's bar. We ran into some crazy Texans who had been drinking ALL day (photos were not blog appropriate!).

Iguanas everywhere!


Scuba fun!

The Scuba Crew: David &Ellen Avery, the two of us and Ellen's Dad, Michael Terry.




Dave looks like such a pro!

This guy was hungry!




Dolphins are cool.


We got to swim with them for about an hour - pretty amazing!
