Postscript

The kids miss the cat.  There were several around the property in Akumal, but one made itself at home.

Matthew and the cat in Akumal he named Guest

I forgot to mention how much Peter enjoyed his dinner at La Buena Vida on Monday night.  He ordered fish, and the grouper arrived at the table on a plate intact, with dorsal fins erect, just dead and cooked.  I made the waiter turn the stunned eyes and gaping mouth away from me!  Disgusting, I think.  Peter loved picking it apart.

We enjoyed our last morning on the beach on Tuesday, taking one last swim with the fish and the turtles on the reef.  The flights home were uneventful, and we arrived back to our lovely abode around midnight.  Akumal may be a tropical paradise, but home in California is still beautiful as well.
