Well, we head home today, this will be our last walk about before catching our flight - West Jet 2581, you will be able to follow our flight on this site:  http://flightaware.com/live/flight/WJA2581

 

We were up again before the alarm rang  this morning- it was set for 5:40 am

While we were waiting for breakfast there was no conversation,

we were all thinking about having to head home.

Even thoughts of yesterday afternoon's walk up the beach past Desire's didn't filter through.

It was an interesting walk we had in the hot afternoon- we wanted Ann to do Volley Ball try outs but she was afraid of getting a sunburn - she didn't have sunscreen with her at the time or she may very well have done so. Quite a site watching men and women naked playing Volley Ball - lots of bounce and shake! We didn't see the well buffed young man - he was possibly involved in sport behind the hedge.

Breakfast - our last wonderful meal in Puerto Morelos this year. You never know though, it is 8:30 am right now and the taxi does not come to pick us up until 1:30 pm - like I have said before, eating here is a habit, not a necessity.

Ann had waffles - they look so good

Our flight was uneventful, we arrived at our hotel at about 10:30 p.m., we have just finished a pizza and will all be asleep soon.

 

Allan and Ann will be heading back to Manitowaning in the morning, they will drop me off along the way where I will  meet Liz, one of my travel companions for the Guatemala Clowning Tour. We fly out of Toronto on Sat. Mar 10th, presently I do not plan to take my computer with me, therefore I will not be blogging while on the trip. There will be daily blog postings done though when I get back home March 17 or 18. This trip is very important and will certainly be interesting so I would like all of you to be a part of it.  Hope you check in to get the scoop.



March 4, 2013 - Monday

Today is our last full day in Mexico for this trip

- hopefully the weather will warm up so Ann will understand

 why people come South for winter vacations.

Here she is walking barefoot on the Caribbean shores sporting the ankle bracelet she purchased at the Mayan Jungle Market yesterday.

Fishermen are preparing for their day at sea

 

A construction worker up high on a structure they are building

on the beach in front of Villas Latinas

Bait fish caught for the fishing trip

Police officers arriving from Cancun for their shift in Puerto Morelos

Traffic jam at the intersection of Rojo Gomez and

the entrance road between the Highway and Puerto Morelos

ORANGE HAIR!!! That is different.

Pictures inside the Catholic Church here in Puerto Morelos

During our stop here Ann took the opportunity to change from shorts and top to a nice dress she had just purchased. She found a corner where she would be out of sight-we suggested she go into the confessional but she didn't take us up on it. Instead she changed in front of a stained glass window facing the street!! Good disguise I guess if anyone saw her they would think she was part of the design in the window. Poor Ann, you can dress her up but you can't take her out. HaHaHa. Her antics have provided us with may more good memories of Puerto Morelos.

                                   

Here is another flower for you to identify Nancy M, or anyone else who knows their flowers

We stopped here at Restaurante Argentino for coffee

See Ann's new dress? Very pretty.

This is the view from the school yard at the technical school here in Puerto Morelos

And here we are with Lorenzo - Lorenzo is a student here at this school

Allan and me with Lorenzo and his school Principal

Lorenzo is 13 years old, we have been been providing financial assistance

for his education over the past few years and will hopefully

continue to do so until he has completed his secondary education.

 

This is Juan - he lives in the Colonia and  makes and sells jewellery from his vendors booth in the Mayan Handicraft Market here in town.. I have had him polish sea beans that I have found on the shore and also had him make pieces of jewellery for me. Juan is very friendly, he speaks English fluently and aims to please his customers. A very nice young man.

Ann was interested in the amount on dints in this little car.

Iguanas out enjoying the sun, I guess they are trying to charge up their solar panels for warmth during another cool night ahead.

We got into the water again today, the air is much warmer that it was yesterday.

This was yesterday - the air was very cool so one wanted to remain under water for warmth

Louise and Gaston Begin - we will not be seeing them or

Foxie until they return to Manitowaning in the spring

Ann had her fish for dinner tonight - we ate at Les Palmers

We are not going to be here to see the finished product so his wife

is going to e-mail us a photo. I will share it with you when it comes.

This is our last Buenas Noches from Mexico for this trip -

Good Night - Sweet Dreams
