The road ended at the narrowest part of the lake, it was about 1 km across. San Paulo was on one side and San Pedro on the other. We paid to take a boat ride across, it was an old wooden boat the had rotting floor boards. The captian was a grouchy old salt that made us wait while he tried to get more customers for the already full boat, there was a lot of yelling in Spanish between the captain and the other people on the boat before he finally gave in and took us across the lake. We explored the small town then returned to the other side and drove back to La Paz.

These are my trips in 2009
Isla Mujeres 2009
Isla was quickly going from a tropical paradise to a tropical prison. I could not dive, I could not snorkel, or even hang out on the beach. I could not even rent a golf cart and explored the island because I would have gotten drenched. I was going stir crazy and I had to get off the island.
Puerto Morelos or Mayan Adventure Week 2009
The dive site is in between Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen meaning it is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. There was not another dive boat in site when we hit the water and it was obvious by the pristine coral formations that this site was not frequented by divers.
Missing Isla or Our Vacation in Puerto Aventuras 2009
Lou seemed to be heading away from the exit deeper into the cenote, then he was gone. I thought about chasing Lou but decided that one lost diver was enough and returned to the rest of the group. I realized that this part of the cave was pitch black and the meager beam of light was barely enough to light my way, and it the flashlight died I would be screwed.
Salt Lake City 2009
We traversed to the bowl and I discovered on my fist cut that my legs were already at lunch, I missed the cut and picked up speed and I flew down the hill with my arms waving in the air.
I eventually gained control and almost finished the run without wiping out. I caught an edge when I hit the flats and did a less than spectacular wipeout
