Back in the Saddle Again!

Well, not exactly back in the saddle BUT back in Mexico again! I arrived just a week ago, November 26th. We have done so much already. Alfredo and I went to the annual Jazz Festival two night on the beach, took a trip to Cozumel and Cancun, and went to see the movie, Amelia. Wow, Amelia Earhart was so strong and passionate. Even though her life ended tragically, she was doing what she loved. Today, there was a Eco Think Green Fair on the main avenue in Playa del Carmen. Organic sunscreen was selling for 200 pesos for 50 ml (about $18.00 Canadian dollars)! I was tempted to buy some organic mango chutney but actually made some myself a couple of days ago. There are so many things to do. When we went to the Island of Cozumel they were hosting the Ironman Marathon, so lot of cyclists on the highway. Once off the passenger ferry in Cozumel, we rented a jeep and headed off to the eastern coast of the island - away from it all. We stopped at a few places but especially enjoyed Chen-Rio and Playa Bonita. Here are a few pictures of Cozumel. Enjoy! And no, I did not stand up and ride as Alfredo drove the jeep, only for the photo op! The posed stance in the jeep, can not match the posed stance in Alfredo´s August mariachi post. Ha, ha!

Love to see all that sand being used to create the beaches. It is so important to the tourism industry.
