Cancun vacation & wedding Part 1

A good book! I read 4, but this was the best one I read.
Carolina (former exchange student) and husband Gabriel came to visit, but John and Andrea were not there yet because of Andrea being in hospital with appendicitis.
I walked down to the beach one day. I had to relax from all my sitting and reading!
The restless waves! Nice to watch though.
This iguana liked to sun himself, but every time I tried to get a real close shot he scurried away. I finally took this pic. Other folks were also taking his pic.
After John and Andrea arrived, we decided to go to Playa del Carma (sp?) to eat one night. The town is closed to traffic and everyone walks the streets. There are shops, music and lots of eating places. This one was on the second floor with open (no windows) to see out and hear the sounds below.
We were serenaded with live music while we ate. Andrea's mother really enjoyed it because they sang Spanish. It wasn't bluegrass!

One day at the resort, I was walking out of the buffet breakfast and saw these beautiful yellow birds. I wanted to take their picture, but only got one. The closest ones flew before I could get them.The chairs for the wedding guests on the beach. There was a stiff breeze the whole time.

Andrea walking down towards the "altar" at the beach.
Andrea's sister Camille, trying to fix her gown. It was very breezy. The vows have been repeated in English and Spanish.
Mr. & Mrs. John W. Yoder II. The photographers took plenty of pix. Part of the package.
The Yoders before the wedding dinner. The next pic from a different angle.
After the dinner, they had a small cake to cut and give each other a bite.
Andrea had changed into a shorter gown for the wedding dance.
There was a Latin band and other diners ( not of the wedding party) also danced.
