Dear Shirley.
You won't believe what Jack and I did last weekend! We went to Cancun! We got there early Friday moming, checked in, and went straight to the beach. We went scuba diving all morning, and we relaxed on the beach and swam all afternoon. On Saturday, we went to Tulum, the Mayan ruins about two hours south of Cancun.
