Barceló Maya Resort and Hurricane Rina

(Though it was rainy and a bit windy, Hurricane Rina didn't have TOO much of an affect on us, though we were certainly worried, since the path of the storm came directly through the area where we were staying.)

(Mom, Jess and Baby Gideon along the nice wide beach at the resort where we all stayed, the Barceló Maya, situated about halfway between Playa Del Carmen and Tulum - about an hour and a half South of Cancun.)

(Craig, on the left, and me, noticing that it was eerily calm before the storm...Yes, we're twins. No, we've never switched places on our teachers.)

(Roger, Tegan, Jess and Gideon roaming the beach before the rains. We played a nice soccer match in the pouring rain just before the hurricane hit and locked down the hotel one evening.)

(Hurricane Rina.)

(Roger has a patented ninja kick, and Craig can never quite get it right, those his is also not bad.)

(More hurricanes and ninja kicks. I think Roger must've been floating backwards in this one.)

(All you can eat buffet was one of the highlights of the resort. I had dozens of breakfast burritos and tacos for lunch.)

(Finally, after the hurricane, the sun started to peak through the dark skies.)

(The hurricane "hit" on Thursday, though it was never all that bad, Friday was ok, and by Saturday, the weather was great again.)
