Hike along Sea Shore (Mexico!)

 Editor's Note: Catching up on blog posts that didn't get posts once Sandy started hibernating

Sooo... where was I??? Oh yes!! Mexico!! I know... soooo long ago... I left off on this blog post

We went for a walk along the beach and came across these ancient cannons.


The cool thing, is those blogs are made out of big chunks of brain-coral... very unique.

Navy knows a bit about cannons so gave us a bit of a lesson. Biggest point... don't stand in front of the muzzle!

Otto had some good questions about how cannoneers avoid hitting otters in the water (it's pure luck). Otto was less than pleased...


We wandered along the coast a bit and came across these ruined condos/houses. They've been here for years and are getting more dilapidated with each passing year.


They have beary nice views though...

But right now, all they are used for is graffiti artist canvases.


We found a wrecked boat up on the shore as well...

Navy had some ideas about us going boating but... seriously... there's no way anyone is carrying this boat down to the water!

But there are some pretty plants down here.

More strange graffiti...

That looks like a space-alien ant!

We had a wander down close to the shore and... well... it was a bit wet down there!

Not to mention very windy!!

There is lots of garbage strewn along the beach, stuff that gets washed up from boats... probably... beary sad.

None of us have any interest in this fixer-upper!

Not even with this cool pizza oven...

See the mosaic lizard?

Well... those are words to live by!

And more graffiti... although Navy's ear is hiding...

Heh-heh... hiding what???

Somebody's behind... sigh... graffiti artists!

And a weird turtle...

Finally... a beary old rusted anchor!

Navy totally enjoyed this little walk... lots of "navy-ish" stuff to share!

Happy Easter!!

 Happy Easter!! I hope everyone is having a great spring with lots of sunshine and flowers... or at least melting snow!


I know I've been off the radar for a few months... bear hibernation will do that to a blog. It's so embarrassing... going along perfectly fine one minute and then in mid-sentence... boom... fast asleep! For weeks and weeks! But... spring is here... and this little bear is awake!

Now... to catch up on some old blog posts!

Strange Encounters

 Ahhhh... this is sooo nice. So quiet and peaceful...


Yes... the mice are away doing what mice do (chasing down some cheese) and Otto is off frolicking in the pool diving for dive toys with Rose. I think I'll just have a wee nap... zzzz....

***a while later***

Saaaaanndddyyy!!! Where are you? Aren't you going to come for guacamole and chips???


Errrr... uh-oh...

Shhhh... Cocoa... be very very quiet... don't disturb the iguana!

I was having a beary peaceful nap and... all of a sudden... something tickled my toe and... there he was!!!

He's a beary pretty iguana... but... he also has very long claws!!!!


Luckily... the iguana got bored staring down a little bear and wandered off towards the pool...

He's not going in the pool, is he?? Oh no...

He just did a pee and then a big black poo!!!! And then went back to the trees!!

The pooper scooper came to clean up... hmph! Cheeky iguana!

Anyhow... waaaaaaayyyyy too much excitement for this little bear!!! I need a stiff piƱa colada! 

Alright... now what shall we do? Hmmm... looks like we have some tuckered out stuffies...

Ugh... too much diving!!! I'm tired!!!

....snnnrrrrr... zzzzz.... snort... too much cheese!!!

... way too much cheese!

Alright then... we better let them nap for a bit.

Oh... forgot to share this... we got a group photo with Rose!!!

Fun in the Sun!

Good morning!! We have another towel animal to show off... isn't it cute?


We got up early so we could watch the sunrise...

It was OK, but nothing spectacular...


Although this looks amazing!! You just have to be patient...

We relaxed on the loungers and bali beds all day. Yes, that's right... ALL DAY!! We are on vacation! We had lots of chips, guacamole and salsa... yum!


The weather deteriorated a bit but the rain never materialized...

Oh... and we found a local stray cat hanging around. He seems friendly but if you try to pet him, he gives you a bat with his paw!


The pool looks cool at night!

And for dinner... at the gourmet restaurant... we had cold almond soup (the soup bit is still coming)...

And lamb... yum!!!!

And another chocolate surprise with white hot chocolate this time...

Ta-daahhhhh!!!! Yummy!
