Sharon and Les had a fun bbq last weekend with friends Amy, Bob, Michael and Janet...and Sharon and Les's God daughter Sofia and her Dad Vic.....

Sofia and Amy  playing a game......

Miki came by for an hour from the bookstore, but didn't get in any of the pics....

These 2 are great hosts....Vic made the amazing burgers, but there were lots of awesome munchies, including Les's famous Welsh cakes......

Sofia is the namesake for Sharon's dress shop in PM, and is a sweet lovely girl....fun to see everyone - thanks for these pics, Vic!

Daf's blog.....

As you may know by now, both of our cameras are non functional - one either has sand in it or the lens motor has died, and the other had a drink spilled on it and refuses to open. Sigh. So I am on the hunt for another one, and the blog is going to be courtesy of whomever I can get to send me pics. Hopefully I will have another one soon and can continue sharing the sights, sounds and people of Puerto Morelos.
