Spring Break 2009

Long delay from last post, but oh well. Thought I should share some vacation pictures!

So, there were 10 of us total that flew down to Cancun for the week. Our resort was actually in Riveria Maya, which is in between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. So, we didn't have to be around a bunch of 18-20 year olds the old time.

Every day we relaxed and laid on the beach. Mostly playing vball and cooling off in the many pools. We all needed a relaxing vacation!


Those pictured here are all grad students, three of which are 3rd year students (me, the guy on the left and the girl in the white dress). The other three are first year students in the program. This group of 6 was all about the sand volleyball. We played every day at least for a few hours. It was so fun.

This is the 8 of us who stayed at the resort (the 2 others stayed in Playa Del Karmen). We were about to go into Playa when this picture was taken. There we had dinner and went to a club, Coco Bongo. The clubs there are pretty crazy! Here we got to see a bit of the traditional spring break crowd.

These are just some beach pictures. :)
