For Thursday, we had discussed going to see more ruins at Tulum and then to Xel Ha for some calmer seas snorkeling. (The ocean at our beach was a little strong -- I was the only one who could get out past the relentless current to the reef. At one point I made a makeshift tow rope with some cord and a couple of carabiners which I used to tow Bob out.)
Anyway, my decision to stay behind gave a few more people permission to opt out, and pretty soon more people were staying than going. This had the people who wanted to go a little put out. Sorry everyone. I just wanted a day to kick it by the pool, you know? Catch some rays? I mean here it is Thursday and I'm not even sunburned yet. I'm WAY behind schedule.
We had 2 cars. There was no reason whatsoever some couldn't have continued on as planned. The fact that I didn't want to go should have had no bearing on whether those who wanted to go went. Speaking for myself, I hope I'd never let someone else have so much influence on my own happiness. There were hours of not speaking and general grumpiness. Sheeesh.
