last run, last day, in cancun - time to head home!

i can't resist posting the above photo of the "margarita y marijuana" restaurant directly adjacent to the convention center! not sure about the food - but probably great take out :D

but seriously, today is my last day here - flying back on a last afternoon flight. this morning did my last run (w/my friend jack) along the boulevard kukulcan. this time we ran toward downtown cancun instead of my typical route along the hotel strip. will be sad to leave, especially having learned that it snowed in new york yesterday - yikes!!

also, on the drive back from the chichen itza ruins yesterday, we just happened upon the run portion of a triathlon - in progress!!

visit to the chichen itza ruins, yucatan

went sightseeing today, which involved a 2+ hour drive from cancun. the chichen itza ruins are an incredible archeaolgical site. just wanted to post a couple of pictures since we just got back from the trip. will add to this post later - stay tuned "D

dinner at mb restaurant, cancun

last night we switched gears and went a bit upscale for dinner - at mb (michelle bernstein's) restaurant here in cancun. no waiters with drinks balanced on their heads for tableside service at this place - but a still great food and a great time!

world lung foundation at the 40th annual union conference on lung health in cancun

after a couple of meetings at the convention center that took up most of the day thursday, spent a couple of hours at the world lung foundation exhibit booth at the 40th annual union world conference on lung health.

here are a few photos:

cancun: mariachi and margaritas at la parrilla

last night my friends and i went to la parrilla mexican restaurant in downtown cancun. aside from the actual meal, the highlight was the unique delivery of our drink order - and the tableside music that came along with our dining!

cancun day two - convention center

i arrived in cancun, after a somewhat bumpy flight, late yesterday afternoon. ran a few miles on the hotel treadmill to unwind, but didn't do much else. i spent a good chunk of today at the convention center in meetings. but, i did get in a nice 4 mile run (hot and very humid) along the main strip, boulevard kukulcan before they kicked off.

now it's time to relax for a few hours :D i have a few more hours at the convention center tomorrow - then i can explore cancun and its enviorns a little. the only major planned activity is a trip to the mayan ruins at chichen itza on saturday.

stay tuned....

flying down to cancun!

just about to head to the airport for a flight down to cancun. since my laptop isn't coming with me (it's still in the shop), i'll be a the mercy of kind strangers - or the hotel business center - when it comes to updating my blog over the next few days...

stay tuned :D
