Feb 9, 2008 - is it day 6???

This is the Police Station on the main corner as you come into town - haven't had the need to go there yet - hopefully we will be able to pass it by.



The locals say this condo looks like it belongs in a Star Wars movie - not Peurto Morelos!

Juicy Rosies Juice Bar - She makes really good smoothies

This little gaffer has taken up residence at our door step - Much quicker that Toads (ha, ha, ha, to Bill and Shirley!)





Here we are as happy as larks!
De Peurto Morelos en una tarde caliente ¡La cerveza es buena y fría!

The days are going by rather quickly – I don’t know why. We have been going for morning walks at about 6:00 am as the sun comes up; we get back to our room between 7 and 8 and then have our morning coffee with Baileys. Later we go swimming, come back and change cloths then find a nice restaurant to have lunch (there are 27 restaurants in town), go to the money machine, do grocery shopping which always consists of one of our main staples - cerveza, come back to our room and read, nap etc. It is the etcetera that is most interesting! Later in the day we go out for dinner. The food here is rally good, at any restaurant we have stopped at the beer is cold and the food in awesome.

It is a neat town in that many restaurants which are open during the day are not open at night and visa versa. The town looks totally different at night as compared to the day time. Even some of the tourist shops are like the restaurants – open in day or evening.

Saturday and Sunday are quiet days here; apparently these are the main days in which people come in on vacation and leave for home or other locations. It is a day of rest for Mexican families - there are people all over the place,the beach is lined with tents, sun umbrellas, small picnic tables and lots of families - grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads and lots of little ones. Everyone is having a great time.

We have met some very nice tourist – some recently retired like ourselves and others here with families. We met a Canadian yesterday that is retired form the Bank of Montreal – he was an auditor and knows several of the bank managers on the Island and he had done much of his work in this area.

Best to all,

Anne
