February 4 and 5, 2010

Life is slow here, something we could all become accustomed to in short order. I apologize for not having any photos of the beach - we have been there on several occasions believe me. I guess it is just that we are enjoying ourselves so much while there, that taking pictures just doesn't enter into my mind. I will make up for that tomorrow. This is "La Piccolina" which specializes in Mexican food - across from Cantina Habaneros

As we passed Ed's Cantina Habaneros it was easy to see that people were

having a great time. He had live entertainment again tonight.

Tonight we had diner at Hola Asia - this is coconut shrimp - to die for!!!

Thai Fish


Terriaki Chicken


A Chicken dish with bean sprouts and peanuts
(the name of the dish escapes me at the moment)

We are enjoying ourselves!

We were out for a walk this afternoon when it started to rain, we ducked

into Pelicanos and waited it out before heading back

Today ( Feb 5/10) we stopped at the Biergarten, I took pictures of their billboards

to give you an idea of their specials and their reasonable prices

I believe Ed from Cantina Habenero owns the El Rancho which has

delicious BBQ'd chicken which is cooked on the premises.

This is the tortilleria factory just down the street from us - they taste

wonderful and they were still warm when we bought them.

Here is a different privacy fence - I like the painted flower on the arch above the door

I bought a new pair of shoes - they are quite comfortable actually

Our landlord's security system

Some great looking dune buggy wouldn't you think?

We are just filling the time until our dinner arrives

Allan gets nothing this good at home!!!

Bob and Edith had shrimp and Allan and I had fish fillet

- we all enjoyed our dinner - it was great

This is were we ate dinner on Feb 4th - at El Coyote - great food, great service and good prices. We were the only people in the dining room so it was nice and quiet.

Here are some shots of our apartment, I am afraid I am not doing justice to it. Rob's pictures on
his site at http://www.almalibrebooks.com/rentals.htm are much better than mine.

Edith, Exavior and I - he is a great waiter, very attentive to your needs

This was made for us on our Anniversary, a nice little memento

Here are Allan, Edith and Bob enjoying a fruit drink at Juicy Rosy's Juice Bar

This sign is up our street a ways, these little critters remind you of a

racoon only because of the rings around their tails. There are lots of

them in a vacant lot and people come by to feed them seveal times a day.

Edith catching up on her reading - taking a rest from the puzzle
I figure if I can keep her buzy she will forget to bring out the cards - Oh GAWD how I hate playng cards and to think she brought a deck!!!

An early morning stroll on the beach brought us to this picture

That puzzle is bound to get completed before we leave at the end of the month

The Biergarten serves mostly German food , it is open from about 2 in the afternoon

until 10 in the evening. The food here is great and the prices are very reasonalble

Here we are on Feb 3rd at the Biergarten prior to our order coming

Cheers, wish you were here!!

Rosie's Juice Bar
Thought this privacy fence was unique

Allan looks happy

We were able to get a stool for Edith so she can bush her teeth

If you come looking for us this is where we are hanging our hat

Edith's shirmp at "La Petita"

Allan's Breaded Fish

The Garlic Fish - mmmmmm - Gooooood!

Entertainment at La Petita

More entertainment - Gosh they are good!!

Allan, Edith and Bob in front of "La Petita" restaurant - they serve great food here.

No matter what time you get up you can always catch the morning sunrise!!

the flowers are beautiful

very well kept garden

nice isn't it?

some shots of the gardens at "Casa De Los Viajeros" - our home for the next month. There is no pool, but, if there was we would never get to the ocean!!!

Bob says "Oh boy this is great!!"

Edith basking in the glory of "Puerto Morelos"

We are on our way to Toronto from Tara in this shot,

it is hard to believe the difference in the weather

Our plane arrived in Cancun yesterday at 12:25 and the temperature was 25 C/77F with a nice warm rain. We booked a taxi through “cancunshuttle.com” on the internet before leaving Toronto, it was there waiting for us and had us delivered to Puerto Morelos before 2:00 o’clock.
Rob and Joanne (our landlords) were waiting for us when we arrived at “Casa del los Viajeros”. They gave us a guided tour of the apartment and brought us up to date on some of the happenings in PM since we were here last year. Once settled in, we went for groceries (the staples – cerveza!!! and other items). We then stopped at Ed’s – “Cantina Habanero”, for a cerveza (couldn’t wait until we got back to our Casa) and had a little visit with him and Natalie. I hear there has been a new addition to their family since we were here last year. A son, whose name is Jeremy – a little brother for Jess – can’t wait to see both of them
Later in the afternoon we went to “La Petita” for dinner – it was a delicious as we remembered from last year. As an FYI, Bob and I had a fillet of fish with garlic butter, Allan had breaded fish and Edith had shrimp. Each dish was served with rice/vegs/garden salad. The cost was $20.00 US for Allan and I which included 3 cerveza; Bob and Edith paid $25.00 for their dinner. Quite reasonable we thought.
We were all tired after a long day which started at 2:30 am with a wakeup call from the hotel desk in Toronto. Bed time came early.
Today is our 42nd wedding anniversary – I wonder where we will decide to have dinner this evening. It is a beautiful day here today – no wind, some cloud and hot, hot, hot!! We have been out for a walk along the beach and now looking at having something for breakfast.

………..it is now 09:14 in the evening – we had dinner at “Restaurante El Faro” above the supermarket near the dock. The shrimp and ribs were to die for!!!!! The waiter’s name was Xavier; he was very friendly and accommodating. There was nothing we asked for that he could not get for us.

Along with you I will look forward to tomorrow’s happenings, so till then – do take care and I wish you were here!!
