saludos desde México

Shortly after arriving in Cancun Tuesday, we were greeted by a big storm. It was mild and balmy, with lots of wind and rain. From the airport, we took a bus into Cancun and decided to walk from the bus station to our hotel since it was only a couple of miles to Puerto Juarez. Aside from schlepping our bags and some heavy downpours, it was kind of fun.

Across the street from our hotel is a ferry that goes to Isla Mujeres (Island of Women), which is a small, beautiful island on the Caribbean sea with turquoise water beaches. Yesterday, we spent the day exploring, I met a nice Canadian retiree who is living there for six months.

We had mojitos on the beach, picked up some new, and necessary beach attire, and George got a massage on the beach under a tent!

Life is good. We are going back again today.
