We are back home and wouldn't you know, it started with freezing rainnon Sunday and we now have 6 inches and it is still coming down.

We miss everyone in Playa and look forward to the next trip.

Last Hurrah

Went out for our last evening, a quick dinner and a drink then back to pack.
It's all over till next year.

Ula Gula

Last night was Ladies night at Ula Gula 8-10 FREE MARTINI'S for the girls (wheres Jodi when you need her), Martha and Patti had 3 each strawberry and Mango Mac and I eachvhad a couple beers. Everybody ended up very happy. In the end 6 martinis, 3 beers and 2 baileys $20 plus tip.

Ahh, the good life

Pictures later

La Bumba Jaroche

Went to a new restraunt last night, it was recommended for good fish. The choice was right on, we had a sea food casserole for starters and then a fish filete for the entree. Prices were good dinner for two with beverages only came to $24, and they even had menus in english although it takes a little imagination when they offer "broyled filete." It was definately a local place, we were the only anglos there for the longest time, then we saw some other folks looking in and they must have gotten braver when they saw us.

All in all, a good meal and a new place to add to our list.

Good Eats

Don Marios is one of our favorite places to eat when we are in Playa, he has a nice varied menu , reasonable prices and excellant food. We have never been disappointed and no one we have recommended it to has not liked it.
Last night we had scallopini with pinapple sauce and penne pasta with sun dried tomatoes all for about $25

dia de St Valentin

Let's see, Valentines Day in Mexico?
Does that mean you get Chocolate covered fish tacos with jalepenos ??

Bright and clear

The rain has gone and it is bright and clear again, although a little cool but that will change later in the morning.

Breakfast, then back to the beach

RAIN !!!

We are having rain this morning, what's this ! It is supposed to rain at night so we can play during the day.

The sun is back

After a few showers last evening the sun is back, the sand is dry and the umbrella is doing it's shade thing. What more could you want ?

Cooler today

It rained overnight, so it was a bit cooler today, upper 70's, and overcast se it was a nice break. Still needed an umbrella by afternoon though, hazy sun will do you in

HOT HOT HOT

Watched the SB last nitr on a 12 ft jumbotron on the beach with a nice breeze.

Today it was hot hot hot 84 with a heat index of 97, thank goodness for those off shore breezes.

More sun tomorrow

Superbowl Sunday

Who said football had to be a cold weather sport. Everything is ready here except for the drinks

Another week

This ends another beautiful week. Temps were in the mid 80's all week and the sun was shining.

This sunday it will be crazy, they have the signs up, SUPER BOWL BIG SCREEN ON THE BEACH and they mean big screen last on I saw was about 10 ft diag.
Guess it will be a good time to stay inside away from all the craziness.

Road Trip

Today was the day for road trips. We picked up a car in the morning and headed south to Tulum. This is the ruins that you see in the adverts for Mexico, built bet 600-900 AD and on a small cliff overlooking the ocean.

Not being ones to waste opportunity we then came back to Playa and stopped at the ceramics shop, you can't believe how much they have, probably 10,000 sq ft and stacked waist high. Everything from ashtrays to 6 foot vases.

From there we went on up the street to the glass blowers to pick up some art glass. The shop isn't as big as it used to be due to the economy, but he still supplies to most of the souvenior shops in town.

To finish up we went about 20 miles north to a little fishing town for a fresh seafood dinner.
