This blog is less about places we’ve been and sites we’ve seen and more about spending quality time with Family and Friends!

For the casual reader, based upon the many pictures included, it may seem that all we do is dine and enjoy beverages! Nay! Nay!

It just happens that we take pictures when we dine and enjoy beverages!

Terri’s sister Roseanne came for a week’s visit, so they dropped over!

We thought about going back to Technotel for Valentine’s Day (El Día del Amorbut the menu wasn’t as good as New Year’s! So we went to Tony Roma’s in Merida.  While the ambiance wasn’t totally romantic, the ribs were good!

We did take Bob & Betty into Merida for a bit of a tour, with the highlight being a carriage ride on the Paseo de Montejo!
