Uaymitun 2018-Blog Post #3 “Enjoying Family & Friends!”

Welcome to our Uaymitun 2018 Blog!

Sorry for the delay in publishing this, but I hope to catch up soon!

This blog is all about enjoying living here in Uaymitun and spending time with family and friends!

We count ourselves very fortunate to be able to spend about 1/3 of the year with my sister and her husband down here in Uaymitun!

Val and Elaine enjoying their first Mayan Kiss of the season! (Kahlua + Xtabentun)
George carving up our delicious Pollo Papaya de Coco dinner!

Given the nice weather, we try to go for walks as often as we can!  The other day, while walking the Coast Road, I captured a few pictures of the beautiful surroundings!

The famous “Parrot House” where Bonnie & Ken live.
Many of the beach houses have…
… gorgeous bougainvillea displays!
Boomer and Peg’s house… now up for rent! 🙁
Palm adorned driveways!
Our personal favourite… Uaymarima! 🙂

The other morning, while walking towards the Flamingo Stand, I met a couple of cyclists from Victoria, BC.  At that point, they were on a their 15th day of a cycle tour from Cancun.  Steve & Dodie have a very interesting story to tell of their multitudes of world wide cycle tours!  Have a look on his blog site… Steve Miller/Grampies Tours … their latest is “Road to Ruins!”

One of our pastimes down here, once the sun sets at 5:30, is to play cards… like Hearts and Euchre, with Mat & Terri next door! Ever since Bob & Betty’s visit a couple of years ago, one of our favourite card game is “Hand & Foot”!

In preparation for a rematch with Pam & Raymond, Elaine and I sought out some tartas de lima from a local establishment called T-Bar in Mérida.  Our usual branch was all out but one of the servers recommended that we go to another store closet to Centro as they usually have them!

T-Bar where they have delicious treats!
Raymond about to enjoy!
Someone made me include this pic showing Raymond and Elaine’s great victory over Pam and I!  So sad!

One never knows what the day may bring, living here in Uaymitun!

Our valedor, Miguel, brought us some fresh coconut!
Mat captured this everyday occurrence here on the beach!

This past Tuesday, we greeted Doug & Janine, back for their 3rd visit to Uaymitun!

They’re here! They’re here!

The weather cooperated and let us enjoy…
… a sunset on the beach!
Off for a walk on the beach!
Toes in the Gulf!
A beach walk past Ed & Jo’s place from last year!

That’s it for this blog post… visits to Xcambó and Izamal are queued up for the next blogs!

Cheers from Uaymitun, MX!

  1. Great pics. once again. Miss playing “Hand and Foot” with you two!
    Wonderful that Doug and Janine have arrived. Hope you all have an amazing time:)

  2. Thanks for updating us on your time in this wonderful region. As our tour winds down, we leave for home in 4 more days, we are always on the lookout for someone else’s sojourns to read about. Now we can add yours to the list. It is such a small world, perhaps we will meet again some day. Grampies

  3. You are missing a beautiful winter wonderland morning here. Time to bundle up and go shovel snow.

  4. HI Doug and Elaine
