Uaymitun 2018-Blog Post #10 “The Tolson Family Visit!”
Welcome to our Uaymitun 2018 Blog!
This blog is all about the long awaited visit by our daughter, Kerry, her husband, Bryan, and our grandsons, Jack and Ben!
We have hoped for many years that some of our children and grandchildren could come to visit us in Uaymitun!
Last year was a great treat as Kerry and Kristy surprised Elaine with their visit!
This year, Kerry, Bryan, Jack and Ben have come to see us in Uaymitun!!!
The long run to hug Nana!

It was an evening arrival after a long, long trip from Toronto to Washington to Houston to Mérida, but everyone was happy to finally be here!
Their first day in Uaymitun wasn’t an idle one! We had to wait at the house until almost Noon for our 6-person SUV to be delivered! Then it was off to Telchac Puerto for lunch and then a tour of Xcambo!

For our first ‘outing’ with the family, we decided to have lunch at Tarraya in Telchac Puerto and then visit Xcambo!
