Monday 5, 2012


Welcome to Monday, just  today and tomorrow  then we head back to Canada on Wednesday - Bummer ):

For information purposes, when you look at the blog archives on the right side of the blog page you may see a number higher than one beside the date (ie: March 4; March 1, etc). This means there were more than one post done that day. To read additional posts for that day make sure you go to the bottom of the page post and click on older posts or newer posts - this 
 depends on which post you are viewing for that day, the first one or the next one(s).  I hope I haven't left you confused, I am sure if you are it won't be for long.



Every Monday morning the garbage trucks are out 
gathering the weekend's collection of trash


I found more flowers for the flower lovers



Only in Mexico! There have been workers at this  building since we came four weeks ago, they have been working on the inside installing shelving, flooring etc., now they have taken the roof off!  Go figure!!!



Allan is always amazed or should I say alarmed with hydro hook ups here

A roof getting a new face lift

Breakfast at Posada Amor while our suite is being cleaned


OOOOps! Now how do I handle this??? The last discrete fart I got away with - this is a wet one. Oh Gawd!


This little fellow is working hard at putting sticks in behind the wall covering - he is really proud of his efforts.

We picked up our last load of laundry this morning.



The large bean  in the centre is a heart sea bean which I purchased. The others are sea beans from our beach collectibles of yesterday. Among these are two palm nuts while  the rest are the "hamburger or deer's eye" sea beans. They have been polished by a fellow in the market at the far end of town.

 We joined our friend Kris at this restaurant in the Colonia today for empanadas and tacos- were they delicious!!!!!! One day we will be back!!!


This is the owner and chef


His wife on the left and our friend Kris on the right.
Kris thanks for today's true Mexican experience, we  have fond memories of today and look forward to returning here on our next time back to Puerto Morelos - Thank you so much!!


 This  little restaurant serves draught beer - Edith got a big one!!! Now is that a drink or is that a drink?


 Bob smacked his lips on a dark one while the
rest of us enjoyed a lighter brew

Then we took drive through Villas Morelos II 
to see new homes for sale

 
 This is the road way between Villas Morelos I and II - there is
soon to be a Villas Morelos III in the near future
When we were finished our afternoon with Kris the four of us  went to Playa Del Carmen for the rest of the day.


A candid shot of a passer by at the bus stop
while we waited for the next ADO
A view from the roadside at the bus stop 

We came upon the remnants of a car
accident while on the bus to Playa 


Street scenes in Playa





Allan tells me the statement fits me even if the shirt doesn't


More Playa street scenes



When it is time to head back to Puerto Morelos
our chariot and driver await.

Sunday March 4, 2012

Yesterday's winds left lots of  debris on the beach





 This is the best the sun does today, clouds
 come in and block it out

Our two hour walk on the beach this morning
 rewarded us with this cache!!
A great find following yesterday's high winds

Laundry day again
Believe it or not, this is the colour  my dining  room was before I toned it down



During a cold afternoon on the beach some play






while others try to stay warm



 Life Guard in Mexican Winter


While the kids play Mom and Dad do the Hoochy  Koochy
\




 Some exercise


 This one climbs the great leaning lighthouse wall

Some learn  to swim??
Others are beach combers
A Pelican drys her laundry

another waiting to catch a fish 

 The concentrator trying to thread his lure

 The thinker

The Sunday afternoon fishermen
The novice Sunday afternoon fisherman 

 Some swim to entertain themselves
on a cold Mexican Sunday afternoon - warmer under water


 Men who were fishermen in the past and abused their bodies  by diving to depths of 140 feet  are now trying to encourage tourist  to rent  boats for snorkeling tours 
 
 Pelicans await the fish waste from this fishing trip


Free Internet access in the park allows  people to find out what is happening on the net 

The best Pina Colada ever!!!!! 


A remnant from a child's  day on the  beach

 The flight from Cozumel to Cancun is on schedule 


 This is what is left of Bob and Edith's bottle of
courage before their exfoliation walk today

Just being silly

 What a lovely bunch of coconuts!


Today's news

Flowers 

An angry sky

foliage

Play ground in the park

My cute shoe salesman

Val ...." You are serious, right?"

 "Damn - why did she have to tell me this now!"


"If I play my cards right I should be able to do this discreetly"

The "after the discreet fart" smile!!!


There will be more tomorrow, so 'till then Chow for now!!!
