New Year's Eve, Mexican Style

Happy New Year! I kicked off 2013 in the Riviera Maya, where the Mexicans seriously know how to do New Year's right. I wimped out at went to bed at 11:00 pm, but my parents (yes, PARENTS stayed up later than me...sometimes I feel like that one Toyota Venza commercial), reported that it was quite the party; complete with conga line and a bag of 12 grapes passed out to each party-goer at midnight! Here are a few pics from the "New Year's Gala", which we all agreed felt more like someone's wedding that we were crashing, but was actually part of our all-inclusive hotel package at Grand Coco Bay resort in Playa del Carmen.
 
The Mayan "show" during dinner...complete with frankincense and elaborate feather head dresses 

The band & dance floor shortly after dinner was served (at 9:30pm). Setting the scene for things to get rowdy

Kevin & I shortly after they handed out the party hats and noise makers. We took a picture and declared victory on 2012.
