BUENOS DIAS!! 

This morning we went to the Colonia for juice, eggs and fruit.

While there, we took our usual walk about town - a different route this time.

It is was nice day for a walk in the Colonia, the weather wass much cooler. High North winds and cloud cover have brought about this change.

Another church

Another home

Monday is the day several businesses are closed. This lady runs an store that sells household items, I see she is putting a face lift of the place for tomorrow's opening

On different days different things appeal to me or perhaps I just notice things differently. These paintings are on the  outside walls of the community library.

They depict the Mayan history and culture

This is the check out counter at one of the fruit markets we like to shop at.

No head on this chicken Shirley, I checked before I took the photo. Do you notice she is covering the meat up after it is cut, in the past it would lay open to the air and flies until it was sold. Can't help  wonder if that has changed its flavour.

Today's flower picture for my green thumbed readers

A cluster of bananas on a banana plant across from the bus stop

A cute puppy for the animal lovers

Although there aren't many people on the beach today due to the high winds and cooler weather, it is a great day for Kite Surfing

This fellow never did get up on his board. We spoke with him later, he said his kite was not big enough to catch with wind and take him out.

This fellow had  no obvious problems other than having a friend to heavy for his kite.

We took a long walk this afternoon up the beach looking for sea beans - No Sea Beans!!

Memories for Bob and Edith

Dinner this evening was at Dona Triny's, we both opted for fish - again DELICIOUS!!

There are no pics of the Moon Cactus tonight - we came up the back street to pick up laundry. Too many things to do here, just can't work them all  in. LOL!

Today marks the end of our second week!! - Only two left :(

On a happier note CLINTON, LEIGH, AVA AND JED COME IN TOMORROW!!!! Their flight should arrive at about 12:40 in the afternoon - can hardly wait!!

A beautiful cool morning in Puerto Morelos this morning- even the water was cold on the feet when you walked in it.

There will only be brave Mexicans and gringo sun worshipers on the beach today.

Someones sand art left from yesterday

 

MORE FOOD!!!! We had brunch with friends at Casa Caribe again today. The dishes brought to our table were: Crapes - who says they are not healthy. Each was filled with sliced apples and covered in honey - served with pecans, blue berries and ice cream. Yummmmy!

scrambled eggs

Eggs Benedict

omelet

Flowers we saw on our way to the laundromat

Our favourite taxi driver Emilio, brought us a dish of ceviche his wife makes - Delicious!!

Several shops are located South of the square - each shop worker  encourages

you to go in and spend your money.

The weather is strange today - one of those days that goes from hot to cool then hot again.

This fisherman is cleaning his boat. They do this after each trip out

Pelicans and gulls wait patiently for scraps from the fisherman as they clean their catch

This fisherman is cleaning a barracuda

This little fellow is in sweat pants

Some of the few that ventured into the water today

This evening we had dinner at Ojo de Agua Restaurant

Tonight's pics of the Moon Cactus

Good Night  - Buenas Noches!!

We are looking forward to another great night of sleep - we have to get rested up for the kids. Clinton, Leigh and the two little ones leave home tomorrow for Toronto, they then fly into Cancun on Tuesday for a wonderful week in the sun!!
