Posada del Mar on Isla Mujeres, Mx. Sep 05

Back in March of 2007 we stayed on the island of Isla Mujeres which is a small island 1/2 mile wide x 5 miles long, for one week. Isla lies off the coast of Cancun and is a 20 min. ferry boat ride. We stayed at the Posada del Mar which is one of the oldest hotels on the island. It has since been substantially rebuilt. We enjoyed our stay there and especially the beach which was directly across the street.

The following is a video I made starting just outside the lobby and then up the stairs and down the hall and finally into our rooms. The rooms are basic, but clean and provided everything we needed for a relaxing stay on the island.

Our Friday morning walk & coffee with the “pack” Aug 30

Our special treat on Friday mornings while walking our dogs is to visit the Tradiciones Latte Art Cafe, halfway through our walk. They bring out a bowl of water for dogs and we enjoy some of their wonderful coffee while chatting and watching the early morning traffic in Cancun. Here are a few pictures of a typical Friday morning w/ Chocolat, Dylan, Sombra, & our friend Louise………

The entire pack calmed down after a long walk to the cafe……….

While we were waiting for our cafe’s I took a picture of a few the other shops.

The first one is a men’s barber shop where you can sip some good whiskey and have a Cuban cigar while you dip your feet into a relaxing massage bath all in some very comfortable surroundings……..

This is a Spa……..for the ladies……….

There is just no end to the interesting subject matter to see on the streets of Cancun.

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……Punta Sur Jul 31

At the extreme south end of Isla Mujeres is a place called “Cliff of the Dawn”. It has a stone pathway almost down to the sea where you can get up close and personal with the incoming waves crashing into and over the rocky shoreline. It’s one of my favorite places and one that you should never miss when visiting the Island of Women. Here’s a short video I made of it.
