LET'S WRAP UP THIS MEXICO THING.






Been home about a week...time to get this series of vacation blogs finished.

Each morning Chuco made us the nicest breakfast.
There is always fresh fruit and guacamole and then something else...like waffles, pancakes, mayan eggs or omelettes.
And I sure am someone at Alicia's B&B!!! I was the only one to be treated to freshed squeezed orange juice each morning...yumm! GRACIAS CHUCO!!!!
That's Gene and I being silly with our anniversary cake. It was coconut with an orange curd filling. It was made by a lady named Linda who lives on the island and is well known for her baking skills...her brownies were excellent too.
The cake was so good...we ate half and then the next day...the remaining half turned into Alicia's birthday cake.
That's me and Alicia and her neighbor Jan...we were all just about to sit down to Alicia's birthday dinner: pan broiled garlic shrimp, vegetables, bread and rice.
We were also lucky enough to enjoy 2 dinners (chicken soup and pork chops) made by Chcuo...we sure are family there, yes?
I had to tease them: "This ain't Alicia's bed, breakfast, lunch and dinner ya know."

We spent 2 afternoons snorkeling at Corona beach and saw lots of fish (some really big angel fish) and a little octopus. The purple sea fans have grown alot since last year. The shore snorkeling suffered tremendously after Hurricane Wilma...it takes it a long time to recover. We took cake to the waiters at the beach club.

We didn't do alot of the things we usually do when on the island. A bit because of the rain but also it was kinda: been there...done it...repeatedly.
We just kicked back and hung out.

I didn't even shop.

That's it folks.
Another too short of a trip to La Isla Bonita.
Wish we could figure out a way to stay 2 or 3 weeks!!!!

love, mary

So where does one sign up for tickets to Chuco's breakfasts? I'll take about a half a dozen of them!

Thanks for sharing. A really
candid look at "life out west"!

Guess I'll go back home to my
southern roots cause I can't
rodeo!
