Jan 6. 2009: pictures from the web

For the first part of the break, i spent a week in cancun, Mexico.
I enjoyed the heat and the beautiful beaches they had there.
While i was there, my family and i took a boat ride to a near by island where we got to shop in these antique shops. The food was great and the city was interesting.

After returning from Mexico, i had a couple of days to relax and hangout with friends before leaving again to New York city. On new year’s eve i flew up to New York City to visit some family.
There was a big difference in the temperature in Mexico and New York. I was freezing walking around the streets of New York city. One of the nights in the city i went to Times Square.
I really enjoyed my beak!
