Small town hero!

You may remember this smiling face - Meno, the wonderful bartender/host at Yodi's Biergarten here in PM. Always a smile on his face, no matter how busy he is, and makes you feel welcome and cared for.

A couple of weeks ago, there was a house fire right across from the bar. Memo rushed across the street, got the family - Mom, Dad and a few kids - out of the house, hauled the burning mattress out to the road and put out the fire. This was during our chilly (well, 15 is chilly here at night) period and I am sure they were trying to stay warm with candles, but Meno's quick action saved them and prevented the rest of their home from burning.

When he is reminded of this, he just gives you a shy "aw shucks" kind of smile and changes the subject. But a hero he is, and so typical of Mexicans who go out of their way to help other people. Way to go, Meno!!!!!

Rosie & Martin from Ft McMurray

Our oldest dearest friends, Rosie and Martin, are in Tulum for 2 weeks and rented a car to come see us overnight in Puerto Morelos! We relaxed at our casa for a while, caught up on all the news from frigid Alberta, and had some drinks and appies.






Then we went for a great dinner at Las Palmeras, and enjoyed the company, the food and the sound of the waves during dinner.

Finally, we headed to David Lau's to listen to the Men in Blues and do some long overdue dancing. Had an awesome evening and a nice morning with them today and then they were off to Tulum and we head to the bookstore at 4!
