One man's perceptions on wandering this blue marble.
I’m almost thinking a monsoon has started here. It’s been raining steady since 8:00 pm last night and it doesn’t look like any let up in sight. Guess I’ll stay hunkered down in the hut and hope this thatch roof doesn’t start leaking. Reading and writing today and maybe a venture into Puerto Adventuras for […]
Wow! Woke up to my first rainy day since being here since January 8th. It’s OK because I spent the day, for the most part, around the ol’ Rancho. The rain was very fine rain drops and not heavy at all. I think the birds especially enjoyed it as they seem to chirp and call […]
Can’t believe it’s been two weeks already. Today was another typical start with great weather. Laundry day today – bed sheets and towels. Going to try the local laundress for the rest. Ran into these things under the thatch eves of the casita. Not sure what they are but look like hornets nests. Think I’ll […]
It is amazing how quickly it heats up here in the mornings after sunrise. 10 degrees in an hour. Low of 66 overnight to 76 degrees by 8:45 am. I’ve never seen highs above 84 degrees so far. It’s pleasant because as it heats up the breezes start and make it seem much cooler. Now […]
We’re back on track again weather wise. Woke to a gorgeous day of sunshine, mild breezes, and temperatures in the 70’s. Probably should explore some today, but first a dip in the pool. Just saw the water delivery guys go by. They are a lot earlier this week. Better note that for the next time […]
Geesh, how the weather has changed here. Woke up to be greeted with a chilly 66 degrees. Later at mid day, we got up to 75 degree. It’s overcast and breezy. Feeling a little better today, still got that persistent cough but not as frequent. Today, I’ve devoted to blogs, reading, and a little Spanish […]
Well, today I woke up with what seems like a routine now of clearing the lungs of mucus from overnight. Since bringing a respiratory infection with me to Mexico, it is something I go through every morning now. My lungs seem to clear as the morning passes. Hopefully, it will stop completely in a few […]
It’s just been a little over a week since I’ve landed in the jungles of the Yucatan and I’ve seemed to have brought a cold with me. I woke up still feeling under the weather today, so decided to stay at the compound for the day. Nothing exciting happened and I spent the day reading, […]
After a weekend of convalescing and feeling a little better, I decided to get out and about as well as investigate an internet service provider alternative. Where I’m located I can pick up other secured wifi signals, so I thought I would go to Playa Wireless’s main office and discuss what options they offered. First, […]
Many times when you’re nomadic you may come across housing accommodations that may include the use of a vehicle. While staying near Akumal, Quintana Roo, MX at Rancho Amor, I had such an opportunity to use the owner’s vehicle that was stored in a palapa. Below is my account of “getting mobile”. The evening before, I was […]
