blah...blah...blah... Ginger!

So, I’m sitting here in Akumal waiting for the day to start. I don’t know why I woke up so early but when this happens, I don’t know what to do with myself. I always assume that the world is closed for business before 10am so there’s no where to go. Perhaps [...]

We came to the beach for the sun and the sea, but we got some things done as well.
Apparently the Civil Protection or some such agency came around to inspect gas tanks and ours was tagged as too rusty and needing paint. I’m glad they are checking, I just hadn’t heard of them doing [...]

Wonderful day yesterday! Here’s a couple pics from the ferry dock in Playa del Carmen, you can see that the wind and waves were high. It was a wild ride over to Cozumel on the ferry. I don’t get sea sick (loud knocking on wood, never say never) but I heard some [...]

I love this time of year here in Akumal, there is hardly anyone here.
We returned late last night and I got up early to talk to our friends downstairs before they left to catch a plane back to Canada.  It was hot and muggy, the AC was an incredible luxury.
After they left, I couldn’t resist [...]
