Sailor Sandy on the High Seas

 Oh, hullo!!! We are off on an adventure this evening... I know nothing...

Love surprise adventures...

We stopped at a few resorts to pick up more people and this one had a double decker red bus like they do in London!!! That's cause the resort was soooo big, you need buses and shuttles inside the resort!!

Now we're traipsiing down to the docks... are we going for a boat ride???

Well... yes we are! We are going on that catamaran!!

Never been on a catamaran... 

That's our boat there...

We are going on a sunset cruise!! Cool!

There are drinks, and there will be snacks... and there is music...

A margarita! Don't mind if I have a sip...

We're heading out!

We sat up at the front... and there were some very well-dressed people on the boat!

We are puttering out under motor speed... no sails... yet.

This is cool! I think Navy Beanie would enjoy this... must track down that mouse...

Oooohhhh... not bad so far...

We got to our turn around spot and they pulled... er.... hoisted the sail!

Looking good...

And the sail is up!!!

Ahoy maties!!! We met a couple of guys from the US... from Philadelphia... but one guy was originally from Minneapolis and I asked if he knew Jerry and Ben... of course not...

I'm a pretty good sailor... as long as I don't walk around... Mama tends to get a bit queasy on small boats soooo... she was fixating on the horizon and thinking tummy-calming thoughts...

There are probably too many clouds for an awesome sunet but... it wasn't bad.

Not bad at all. Cool adventure!!! And one of our last ones in Mexico... sigh... but it was great fun and beary relaxing!

Adventure to the Village

 Hullo! Yep, still our Mexico posts and... what? Um... yes... this thing...

Not exactly sure what it is... a lion? 

Better not stick my head in too far!

We are heading to the local village today... the one across the highway... there are some amazing murals on the sides of the car overpass.

Beary cool.

This one in particular is amazing...

What do you think??

Ohhhh... bees!!!! Or is that a wasp....

And then we walked over the pedestrian overpass which was... in need of repair... which they were doing... I don't think Beanie Mouse (or Andrea) would like this...

And there's more murals on this side!

Cool... let's see about this village...

Oh... and we learned later, there were even more murals on the south side of the overpass... completely missed those... oh well.

This tree is beary pretty with yellow flowers... beary nice against the blue sky.

These local inhabitants are having a siesta...

And we found a tiny ruin near the edge of the village! It's a small one...but a Mexican archaeologist is documenting it and says it's from the post-classic period of the Maya and was once used for religious purposes. He suspects it was dedicated to Ek Chuah, the god of commerce.

There were "do not enter signs everywhere" cause this place is getting vandalized... So we took some pics and wandered off.

Another local inhabitant... smart napping spot!

We found a turtle statue! And then headed back....

Along the way we passed a vending machine... not the most... appealing name...

Or does it mean only "bimbos" would sselect these options? 

When we got back to the room, there was a towel animal waiting for us!! A sloth maybe? Has long arms and legs!

Another Day in Paradise

 The sunrises here are just gorgeous.

Although some mornings it was a bit chilly (like 20C)!

Chilly is "relative" of course!

I read this book that Beanie Mouse gave to me. It was FASCINATING!!! If you thought you knew the stories of Jack the Ripper's victims... think again.

Then it was time to lie on one of the bali beds and just relax...

This bear is not renowned for "relaxing"...

But I'm working on it!

And for dinner... we sat at one of the a la carte restaurants outside... and Panchita came to visit!

This appetizer was "pickled fish" which we thought would be something like herring rollmops but... it was not. Delicious! But... a bit odd looking. 

And of course we got some towel animals!

Not sure what this sweetie is supposed to be but we are friends!
