Another social week!

Our friend Lauren was here again from NY State for a week, and generously took us for breakfast on the day she had to fly home - thanks, Lauren. Come back soon!










Valerie from Victoria was also here again this week with her dear buddy from Ontario, so we joined them for a drink after work one night.








Helen and Rick came back to our casa and we enjoyed a great chicken lunch from the coolness of the pool!








Before they headed back to Cancun, we had drinks at La Suerta after Rick shopped for his handsome silver bracelet and Helen indulged in a lovely dress and jacket from Sofia's shop.

Day at the beach

Went to one of our favourite haunts for lunch the other day and enjoyed a quiet afternoon at the beach.












Sailboats were enjoying the breeze










Fish boats and snorkel boats at rest









Oh - and look - a snorkel boat the same name as grand daughter Vanessa!!!!!

The Mural

While Miki was off in Ek Balam, I decided to paint our back pool wall with a beach scene. Voila!!!













It is intended to be a view from a patio, with curtains on either side. Next year I will add a palm tree and a couple of beach chairs!







This is what the real thing looks like , so you kind of have to use your imagination, but not bad for a first attempt!
