Cancun - Snorkeling

I have no idea how to snorkel! But my boy scout husband was determined that I was going to learn. And my super-great-wonderful sister sent me some gear to take with us. So, the first day we had snorkeling 101...in the pool. Because I thought I needed to watch everything Sb was doing, because this was going to be complicated. Turns out, it wasn't that difficult...when I was in the pool.
The next day we went to Xel-ha...which is this awesome waterpark. There were no slides or anything that you normally think of when you think waterpark, but there were tubes for floating in, a floating bridge that really messed with my balance, and lots of snorkeling. Oh! And there was cliff jumping...

When we first started snorkeling, I didn't think it was a big deal...we saw some fish once in a while, we even saw this floating around...I teased Sean that it was broccoli and there were no fish, just vegetables...needless to say, we were having a good day.
Then suddenly we were surrounded. Talk about freaked out! There were yellow striped fish...EVERYWHERE! Sb was laughing at me, but it was a little creepy! Take a look at the last picture...see how close they are...and we are in the middle of the inlet, so I could not escape. It's no wonder I was screaming into my snorkel.
