Cabo

We got back on Wednesday from Cabo. It was a lot of fun, interesting, but fun.
The scenery was great (a much needed break from the views of many Texas highways recently). We stayed at Riu Santa Fe in Cabo, which is an all inclusive resort. It was a really great place to stay. Alcohol, food, sodas, room, pools, views, all included. We went on a couple of "excursions" while we were there. The first was ATVing on the beach, sand dunes, and dessert. It was fun. However, I took a leap of faith (near death) and dove off my ATV when I thought that it may be tipping over on me. It was super scary, but I survived with some minor to medium bruises, scrapes, and aches. Basically my right side looked like I had been gnawed on by the ground. The injuries were fine the first day, but the second day I definitely felt it. The next day we went snorkeling. It was a lot of fun! We got a great deal and we didn't even know it at the time. We rode on a speed boat and visited the Arch of Cabo (a famous landmark), Lover's and Divorce beaches, Santa Maria Bay and Chileno Bay and then the beach in Cabo where we ate a provided lunch which was muy authentic y bueno! The snorkeling was great. We saw a ton. I only snorkeled in one of the spots because the salt water burned my road rash like crazy. We also went parasailing which was amazing! Otherwise, we just layed near or in the pool. I did a bunch of reading which was great! And now... back to school!

This semester I'm taking 5 classes and doing a practicum with toddlers with cochlear implants.
My classes are going to be interesting I hope:
Craniofacial Disorders (think Cleft Palates and such)
Seminar on Autism
Neurogenic Communication Disorders II (geriatric population)
Dyslexia and Learning Disorders
and Voice Disorders!

Whoo hoo!

Okay so here is a look at our trip in pictures!

I love the picture of you and William from your last night. It looks like it was really pretty! I'm glad you had a, much needed, break from everything. Hope your bruises heal quickly!
