Blogging de Puerto hermoso Morelos

Days 4 and 5


We had a little rain this morning which lasted about a ½ hour and then it cleared. The rest of the day has been very humid and hot with lots of sunshine. Just awesome!

Tonight we attended the Meet and Greet which Frank (who is in charge of the forum at vivapuertomorelos.com) at Cantina Habanero at 05:00 so those members of his forum who are in Puerto Morelos can meet him and anyone else attending who is a forum member. Last night there were 4 people there, it was a nice time. Just drinks, appetizers and saying Hola for a couple of hours then we each went our separate ways. We had dinner at the New England Pub, I had Pineapple Chicken which was served in ½ of a pineapple – it was soooo good! Obviously I am not doing much to look after my weight. The food and cerveza is jus too good to pass up.

They have just recently built an El Cids Resort just a short distance down the shore South of us. We were approached by a lady yesterday wanting us to attend their Time Share presentation which included a free breakfast. We were back to Puerto Morelos by 12:00 without purchasing their plan. It was tempting but they expect you to make a snap decision – too quick for me. I know that sometimes if you snooze you loose but 90,000. + 1300. a year maintenance and the next 20 years of my life just didn’t allow me the confidence to make a snap decision – Allan neither. So they didn’t get our money and we didn’t get the time share.

I am enjoying this vacation so much, Allan isn’t saying much but he’s not complaining either so I guess that’s a good sign he is too. It is very different from the all inclusive, much more interesting – you are right in the community among the people who live here – this is their home community. We have met vacationers such as ourselves, locals both Mexican and Non Mexican – everyone is so relaxed and friendly. The dress is always very casual – again I brought too many cloths, but don’t we usually all do that every time we travel?

In closing I ask that you each take care,

Anne
