Akumal Wedding

We went over to Akumal for the wedding of some good friends last week. It was beautiful, how could it not be? They are a wonderful couple, we’ve known Scott for 15 years or so and Marieke for about 4 years. We’ve always called Scott Akumal’s #1 Son as he and his sister [...]

Another kind of paradise

We just spent a few days over in Akumal for the condo owners annual meeting. It was a simple meeting this year, no controversy, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t stay long as we left the dogs and adult cats here in Mérida. Friends Tom and Debi came by twice a day to feed [...]
