Parasailing and Jungle Tour

Trent and I did a lot of excursions this time in Mexico. They were super fun. One day we did a package deal and did a Jungle tour, Snorkeling, and a Skyrider (parasailing). It was so much fun. On the Jungle tour we took these Jet Skii type things through the Ocean through this jungle area. It was pretty cool. The best part was when they stopped us in the middle of the ocean and made us get out and snorkel. Now I am quite chicken when it comes to the ocean, so I wasn't going to, but I had no choice. I am so glad I did it. It took me maybe a minute to calm down. I kept gagging on my snorkel. As you know I have a horrible gag reflux and I am claustrophobic so just the whole idea of having something in my mouth to breathe through was kind of scary, oh and swimming with the fish. But I did it and it was amazing. The water in Cancun is the clearest blue and the fish were all around. I loved it. Then when it we were finished we took the jet skii's back and then went on the skyrider. It is like parasailing only it is a seat for two and once the boat takes off you are in the air.

Waiting our turn for the skyrider.
Up Up and away.
On our way up. It was so much fun but kind of scary, there was no seat belt and so every time the wind would blow or the guy driving the boat would turn the whole thing would tip to the side. I kept screaming. We got it on our video camera and it is so funny.
Like my "cheese"
Our view from the sky. It was amazing.
