fun in PM








After the market, we had lunch at Las Papas, our new favourite restaurant, and then went back to our place for margaritas by the pool.










It a lovely afternoon and evening and then we headed downtown for some supper and music.












Wonderful salads and baguettes at the Cantina Bistro were the perfect end to the evening.













Kathy Wilson and her band and guests did a great show and we so enjoyed our day with our pals from Victoria!!

Chiapas Market in the square




We gathered up Pearl and Elna and took them on a scenic drive of PM, including showing them the beach we lived on for 5 months the year we bought our little house. Then we headed to the Colonia and wandered through a great flea market of goods brought here by the wonderful weavers and sewers of Chiapas, a state south and west of Quintana Roo where we are.








The market was set up in the Colonia town square, and was a colourful fun place to walk around.
















Pearl and Miki take a break from shopping in the conversation chairs in the square.










Amazing shawls, blouses, shirts, kids clothes and fabulous embroidery are the trademark of Chiapas.













There were also shelves of hand made wooden toys and musical instruments.
