While a few days in Mexico is usually delightful, 2 half days swimming with whale sharks there was incredible. I arrived on the Riviera Maya, south of Cancun to spend a couple of days unwinding before our group moved up to Holbox Island north on the Yucatan Peninsula. So here are some images of the Azul Beach Resort on the Riviera Maya, Holbox, some birdlife around Holbox, and of course, the highlight, the whale sharks. There are also 3 video clips,amateurish,no doubt but it gives you perspective as to their size and you can see how close I came to them. We spotted maybe 16 of them ranging in size from 20-35 feet. You really had to swim hard to keep up with them. I earned my Margaritas :-)
