The puzzle got completed finally after 3 weeks - it was only 500 pieces, 500 difficult pieces!
Entertainment at the square during the evening
Many people sat back relaxing as they enjoyed the music
Everyone enjoyed the wonderful sounds from the participants
Art and crafts were on sale throughout the square
A food stand served up delicious snacks

Wonderful to hear
He"s got the beat!
We stopped at Cantin Habanaro for the regular Friday Night Meet and Greet. We found a chair for Edith.
Jan was singing at Cantina Habanaros - Ed gets many great preformers to come into his establishment on a regular basis. It is a good idea to come early if you want a seat or it is standing room only.Today has been a somewhat quiet day. It started out with a little jaunt to the centre of town for a few groceries, then it started to sprinkle rain. We stopped at Cantina Habanero for coffee then trudged on back to our casa.
There is not much happening here as you may have guessed. The others are reading while I update the blog. Edith took a nap - still hasn't mentioned playing cards - ya think she forgot?? I won't mention it if no one else does.
There is an other event going on at the square later this evening - we are looking forward to it, hopefully is doesn't get rained out.
Tomorrow we are off the Coba Ruins, we are looking forward to that. It will be a first time visit for us.
So, ttyl (talk to you later)- in Spanish I think it is "cauma" charla a usted mas adelante
We saw some soldiers in town this morning while we were out shopping
A peek of the roof top remains from the fire
Burned thatch being removed from the fire site today
Workers were busy cleaning up after last evening's fire 
Debris from the fire
Another view of the fire scene from the street
Remaining framework of the roof structure
Allan was master chef for dinner last night - we purchased pizza from "Pizza Del Carmen" in the Colonia yesterday - we only had to warm it up ----mmmmm Good! We ordered the supreme and the Hawaiian when we were there earlier in the day- both were excellent!
A view of the structural fire
A glimpse of the fire prior to the Fire Department's arrival
About a half hour after the musical performance started we noticed smoke rising from a location close by. Vacationing Fire Chief Elliott responded on foot to see if there was need for assistance. Two young people barely escaped with their lives when flames erupted within their thatched roof accommodation. One of the two suffered burns to various parts of his body and was later transported to hospital. No word yet today as to how he is doing. The local fire department responded and soon had the fire under control preventing damage to nearby homes and their occupants.
These kids and other musicians did a great job. I forgot to take insect repellent - the mosquitoes made us leave before the event was over . This will not be the case next year!
One of the talented participants
After returning from the Colonia we attended the 6th Annual Music Festival and the Elementary School here in town
This photo was taken out at the intersection coming in off the main highway into Puerto Morelos. A nice addition and smooths the flow of traffic. It is much safer for pedestrian traffic crossing to and from the Colonia than last year.
These roosters were taking a break in the heat of the day under a cool shade tree
Billy goat says Hola! He was a very chatty goat too.
There are several pigeons in these roof top pens
More fossils!!
Now you can see why he was so interested in the stone pile - look at the fossils!!
This little place is for rent in the colonia, I tried to talk Allan into making a deal but he was too interested in the stone pile next door
This is one smart cat - he has found a high place to sit and keep a lookout on the dog population
Looks like a fun place to play
Makes one wish they were a kid again
Paintings of many cartoon characters decorate the outside walls
Jardin de Ninos - in my online translator means children's garden - when I find out more I will provide an update.
These pictures were taken through the gates, the entrance is unique - they have used so much colour throughout the play area
The art work is phenomenal - someone has a lot of talent and love for their work
During our walk throughout the Colonia yesterday we came across this building - not sure yet what it is but look like a children's daycare or school
We thought we found a dew worm - silly Canadians! It has lots and lots of legs - giant millipede perhaps.
Allan snuck up on me while I was doing another blog update
