One man's perceptions on wandering this blue marble.
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 […]
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 […]
