One man's perceptions on wandering this blue marble.
Cabin fever today! After an all day rain yesterday, I’ve got to bust out of this casita and do something! I’ve been wanting to go to Xpu Ha beach for some time, but every time I tried I’d end up at a private, no public allowed resort. That is one thing about the Riviera Maya, […]
What a beginning to the day! I was awakened at 6:30 am by one of the strangest sounds coming just outside the casita. I rushed to get a t-shirt on and sandals to see what was making this honk then call. To my surprise, I had been graced by a visit from a Mexican turkey, […]
Been off the radar a little bit, but not to worry. I’ve kept busy by doing some reading, studying, snorkeling, cooling off in a cenote, and lounging poolside. Oh, and throw in a couple of siestas too. Nothing earth shattering to report. The weather has been fantastic. An occasional brief shower occurs, but I’ve been […]
Going to Cozumel today! First though I need to make a bank stop and TelCel stop at Centro Maya in Playa del Carmen. Thought I’d get a jump on getting more internet gigabytes while I’m up that way. I also had purchased a nifty attachment for the Nexus 7 tablet that I have. It is […]
Hey, I’ll bet you’re wondering what happened to my blogging? Early in my blogging I said I may not blog everyday. I wasn’t kidding! Anyway these last few days have been rather uneventful around the rancho. Today, however was snorkeling day! First up was Cenote Azul. This was a nice natural setting with both deep […]
Not much going on this weekend so I decided to help out the owners by spiffing up the ol Rancho a bit. I noticed the gardener they hired just swept out the garage and raked up some leaves from the stone walking paths. I could see a lot more was needed in the landscaping area, […]
Bit of a busy day today. Went into Playa del Carmen to get more gigabytes of internet access. They have got to think that I’m some sort of crazy gringo showing up every two weeks to get more bandwidth. But alas, where I’m located I have no other option. The other kicker is that since […]
Warm day today early, 84 degrees at 9:30 am but the breezes have started up pretty strong so time to get the bed sheets out on the clothesline this morning. The rest of the day was pretty non-eventful. Just as well after that stressful day, yesterday at the topless beach. I did spend some time […]
Boy 84 degrees at 9:30 am??? What’s this day going to bring? Turns out it never got over that once the sea breezes started up. Anyway went to a park down the highway south of Akumal that I read about in a blog. It supposedly has a good beach and a cenote just off the […]
Today is off to a great start and I felt a little road trip was in order. Decided to travel down to Tulum. I took off in great weather and excited to see what was there. I knew that since it was a Saturday the town itself was probably going to be busy, so I […]
