PUERTO MORELOS 2015

As regular followers of my blog you no doubt I was unable to post to my blog while in Mexico this year and had to post pictures and comments on my facebook account. This post is an excerpt of our time in Puerto Morelos during the month of February this year.

We left Manitowaning on February 2 at noon for Sudbury were 
we were scheduled to fly out to Cancun on the 3rd at 6am


This is my favourite part of the road between Manitowaning and Espanola


This is the least favourite part of the road to Espanola 
- the famous speed trap! Speed drops from 80k to 60k quickly 
and believe me - the town police are watching!!


Smoke over the town of Espanola


Ann and Bev joined us for our 47th Wedding Anniversary dinner at The Keg



47 years - wow! I would be telling a lie if I said it seemed like yesterday


We have arrived! Enjoy!



The Maguires and Purdys spent their vacation at Casa Banditos again
 - the first year  in the new building


Xavier - our favourite waiter letting us choose our lobster tail for dinner

The evening baking truck passes through the Puerto every evening.


This couple came to our table to sing and get a tip. The boy had a fish with him. The fish couldn't sing, come to think of it the kids couldn't either but Allan tipped them anyway.


A couple we met (through the Osprey pictures) just a few days 
before we left, Bob and Cindy.







Gaston and Claude having a little booster in the park



Well, that was a quick glance at this year's trip to Puerto Morelos. We stayed at Condos Agua again this year and had one of the new upstairs apartments. It was really quite nice. So looking forward to next winter's trip!
