Today was another hot day in Puerto Morelos
but I am not complaining!!!!
An early morning walk out to the Colonia brought along with it many interesting sightings
This is a termite nest, Allan is standing beside it to give you a better perspective on its size
A close up shows its structure
The construction of the sidewalk from Puerto Morelos to the highway is still underway
Notice its manual labour and square mouth shovels
"Here is the man" in that attractive fringed tool belt and strong like bull! He lifted this piece of steel and carried it a great distance. Mmmmmmm!
lunch bags hanging in trees on the shady side of the road
Many workers ride their bikes to the job site
More lunches
This is the car wash station located at the Puerto Morelos/Highway intersection .It must be busy this year because of all the dust from construction on vehicles
This style of home is way beyond the expectations of most
Bob and Edith joined us for breakfast
at this little restaurant in the Colonia
This is their menu
This mother and daughter are waiting for their order
These are corn husks used to wrap and
cook a type of tamale
This and the few pics following are scenes
from the market we visited today
Price 10 pesos for a package of fruit - just under $1.00 Cdn
This afternoon the beach is very quiet -
we almost have it to ourselves
Like I said - it is quiet - not like Sundays
Our view this evening from Las Palmer's restaurant where we had dinner again. We love the atmosphere, staff and food here.
Notice the jackets on these men - while we are dressed in shorts and cool tops. It is hard for me to remember this is their winter. We are lucky to have 2 or 3 days in the hottest time of our summer with these high temperatures.
This is not a sunset or a UFO - it is one of the many cruise ships that go by. Even with a tripod it would have been blurred because it was moving at quite a clip.
