These are some pictures of our morning:
A dead stingray without his fins - looks like they got eaten off -
hopefully it happened following his death.
These were taken of the mangrove swamp on our walk out to the colonia. Above are ducks swimming and eating,, the object below is a termite nest.
This was interesting - a closer look showed us empty egg shells on the sharp needles of this cactus. The eggs had each been blown and the empty shell placed over the needles. A very cleaver way to protect people and animals from harm. I have not been able to come up with a reason for the yellow ribbons though.
This is where we stopped for our break on our 2 hour walk for refreshments this morning. The orange juice really hit the spot.
3 kilometers back to Puerto Morelos
This year there is construction going on in Puerto Morelos, here they are working on a bicycle path from the highway into the town. Many people use bicycles as their main mode of transport
We made a visit to the market in town today.
I have no idea what this is called but it was good - a little spicy but good just the same.
Three legged dogs are a typical sight anywhere in Mexico. Dogs are allowed to roam free and as a result get hit by automobiles causing them to have various types of injuries.
Hot Tamales, Hot Tamales -the salesman calls as he walks the streets of Puerto Morelos. I bought 2 today for a price of 160 Pecos, about $1.50 each. They are sooo goood!! I am not sure what the ingredients are but looks like a dough of corn flour with a mix of vegetables inside - wrapped in a banana leaf and cooked. Yummmy!
This afternoon the men worked on a new puzzle and I caught up on my blog while Edith had a nap. She was in a much better mood when she woke up. Thanks goodness. For a little person she can get rather grumpy when she gets played out. We had total silence so she could get her rest. ( She is going to clobber me when she reads this!Really she is a good sport, she takes a lot of ribbing in our 4 weeks together.|I am not sure how she tolerates us. )
