The start of another beautiful day in "PARADISE"

We are so grateful for the privilege of being able to come here for vacation

The moring sky is a beautiful pink to the North of us this morning

Severe rain last night made huge trenches in the sand in various places.

The ocean organic waste is usually up on the beach in the morning, not this morning, it remains on the waters edge rolling with the waves. 

Foxy is having a short sit while out on her morning walk with her master

I hope you see the sun's rays here - gorgeous 

We watch the eye, as it watches us

Neat the way that happened

Those rays are beautiful, are they what you would call Angel Rays?  

 I must admit, I am never up this early at home but we must get them there too.

One of nature's creations

A little sand crab has made a new home 

This is the most amount of damage we saw, the water from the rain has washed the sand away from the end of the cement covered street

Here is the same damaged area from a different view - you can see the sandbags are exposed. It would appear they have had this problem here before.

another one of the many condos on the beach

Our beach cleaner - he is always out early in the morning.

Swimmers practicing for their upcoming competition

An unfinished housing unit on our street - it has been here for as long as we have been coming here so we don't know when it was originally built or why it was never completed. Doesn't really matter I guess, it is an eyesore and a waste of good land.

 These are the gardens of the condo next to us

We made a trip with a friend into Cancun to La Europea (the party store)

Love the golf cart

 

In this mall they also have a star bucks

Sam's Club, Walmart and many other small stores. Sam's and Walmart were our main points if interest today.

Tonight we tried out a new restaurant that just opened - best guacamole in town!!

We sat outside, the night view was unique, just what you would expect from a small fishing village

I am chuckling over the size of Allan's cerveza

him too!

I am glad I ordered the Pacifico!!

Guacamole appetizer

I love the shrimp, can't you tell? Thinking back - I order them often. 

Allan ordered the breaded fish

It is quite cool here this evening, so instead of ice cream we stopped by the food stand in the park and ordered crepes with banana and nutella for me and banana and caramel for Allan. We had to go to the market to purchase the banana first.

Vendors set up in the park nightly, some selling jewellery while others sell paintings, pottery, etc.

Tonight looks like the peak for these beautiful blossoms

Another pretty potted flowering plant

Good Night All , Sweat Dreams!!

The weather has really cooled off here this evening, everyone is wearing long pants and jackets. It will be a great night for sleeping - and no humming from the ceiling fan either.
