In addition to a wonderful wedding, I also had a wonderful honeymoon.

Although it was in a resort, which is about as touristy as it gets, there were still wild animals runnign amuck, such as this fella.
Basically, the theme of the trip is: we ate a lot. That is, after the first day, because on the first day we kept arriving at the places to eat right as they closed. For a few moments, I thought I was going to starve at an all-inclusive resort. Thankfully, we learned the system quickly, and didn't stop eating until we left.
We didn't even have to leave the beach to get wonderful food! They cooked this right by our beach chairs.
Tim even helped.
We took two day trips. The first was scuba diving in Cozumel. Out of 20 people on the boat, we were the only English speakers. You might be thinking, of course, it's Mexico, they speak Spanish there. Well, you would be wrong. 15 people (including the dive instructor) spoke Dutch, and 3 people (including the other instructor) spoke French. At least we knew they were talking to us when we heard an instruction in English.
The second trip was to Chichen Itza, one of the new 7 wonders of the world. Also a wonder is, how big of a souvineer you could get for 1 dollar.
But most importantly, there was a beautiful beach. A better beach than Wilmington, I must admit (although living by a beach makes it the best one automatically). Look how blue the water is!
And most exciting of all, here is our tourist picture! We definitely stood out on our return from Mexico, but if you can't pull it off then, you won't have a better chance.
