Ave. Rueda Medina on Isla Mujeres Aug 14

Here is a short video I made a couple of years ago. It is of a golf cart ride out of the Posada del Mar parking lot south on past the Navy Base……..

The infamous “LEDGE” is gone !!! Aug 08

We enjoyed the late morning and afternoon yesterday on Marlin beach in the hotel zone. We really wanted to take some pictures of the beach now that we heard the sand “ledge” had been removed as promised. It had and the beach is now as it should be with a gentle slope into the water. Come to Cancun and enjoy one of the best beaches in the world.

AFTER…………..

LOOKING NORTH…………

LOOKING BACK AT THE BEACH FROM THE SURF………

The foaming surf rolling up onto the newly leveled beach…………

As Jimmy Buffett sang………….”The weather is here……….wish you were beautiful”

Isla Mujeres………….Home! Jul 20

Many people we have met come to this island which time after time for a relaxing time to get away from the daily grind and adjust their mental attitude. They come back so often that many of them think of Isla Mujeres as “HOME”

On Friday morningĀ  we wandered over to the craft area. We both picked out a piece to hand paint. Suzie choose a snail and I choose a sun god plaque to add to my collection. We worked on them for over two hours. We could hardly wait to pick them up the next day after they had been shellacked and fired in their oven. This is how they came out…………….we’re so proud.

This is Suzie’s snail, which she named “Escargot”………..

and this is the one that I did………….to add to my collection decorating our home which is: “Casa del Sol”….

As you can see the Caribbean was a little too rough to try swimming today…….

The happy couple on the beach …….but not in the water

The Veranda Restaurant put up the plastic owls to keep the birds away from the outdoor tables……..

See how the red flag is pointed……….that wind was strong and coming right off the Caribbean……..Thanks so much TS Alex!

The waves pounded the beach until Friday morning when they finally put the yellow flags up………

The beach palapa’s……..red flag means DON”T GO IN!!!

A look at the pool…….

The entrance way to a great place to spend your vacation……

Saturday came and we packed up, paid our bill, and said goodbye to the Royal Sands until next time????

We had a great week away from the daily grind of retired life in paradise.

Thanks to our friends Juni & Mina in San Francisco for renting us their beautiful villa.
