The Young Lovers Meet The Third Wheel

This is Daughter #3, Katie, and her boyfriend Mike. As soon as school was out in June, Larry, Katie, and I went to Tulum, Mexico, to visit
daughter #2.
Alas--Mike could not come, so we were forced to leave him at home. :-(



This Daughter #2, Natalie, and her boyfriend Pablo. They are young and in love.



This is me and Larry. (We are old and in love.)



This is Katie, AKA The Third Wheel.



For reasons that are difficult to explain, this was the general sleeping arrangement.



This is Pablo's pal, Arturo, who is a dive instructor.



Arturo took us snorkling in a cenote, or cavern filled with fresh water.



Here are the Young Lovers and the Third Wheel enjoying Happy Hour.



For reasons that are difficult to explain, we drank all night but never got drunk. (A bit of water in the booze?)



The beach was built of stunning blues and whites.





Here are the Young Lovers lounging together by the beach.



Here is the Third Wheel lounging alone.



Here are the Old Lovers and the Third Wheel eating tacos.



Here are the Young Lovers and the Third Wheel looking at ancient Mayan ruins.



Here's the cabana where we all stayed: Young Lovers, Old Lovers, and the Third Wheel.



Poor Katie.



The Young Lovers and the Third Wheel take in the view.



The Young Lovers and the Third Wheel take a break.



Larry takes a moment to ponder how the hell he ended up on a Mexico vacation with all my baggage.



At the end of the week, we all took the bus to Cancun and hopped a plane to Mexico City. While we waited for our flight, the Young Lovers played dominoes. What happens next? Do the Young Lovers have a terrific fight? Will they make up in Mexico City? Will the Third Wheel come along or go back home to her boyfriend Mike?
