Welcome to our Uaymitun 2018 Blog!
Our first few days were busy days… trying to provide a real glimpse into our part of the Yucatan for Kerry, Bryan and the boys!
The next trip was to see the Flamingos at Celestún! Given the number of previous visits to Celestún and pictures I’ve taken of the flamingos, I’ll try to minimize the number of pink pictures I include in this blog!

Celestún is the point of entry to the Reserva de la Biósfera Ría Celestún, a 146,000-acre wildlife reserve with extensive mangrove forests and one of the largest colonies of flamingos in North America. Clouds of the pink birds soar above the estuary all year, but the best months for seeing them in abundance are November through March. This is also the fourth-largest wintering ground for ducks of the Gulf-coast region, and more than 365 other species of birds, plus a large sea-turtle population, make their home here.
On the return leg of the cruise, we always stop and see the Cenote Baldiosera and have a walk… but before our stop, the boat driver always gives us a thrilling entrance into the mangrove swamp!
On our way home from Celestún, we decided to drop into Mérida for a late lunch or early supper (Lupper)! We parked at Santa Lucia park and then walked down to Amaro!
What a wonderful day!
The final two days of their stay were relax days!
Usually, I take a ‘good-bye’ photo of our guests standing by the pool! But as we left for the airport at 3:30AM, it would have been a very dark pic with everyone’s eyes still closed! 🙂
Their flight left Mérida basically on time… their flight from Houston to Dallas was delayed an hour, but still ok… but their flight from Dallas to Toronto was delayed 7 hours, which meant they got to enjoy DFW airport for about 10 hours!!! They finally made it home around 4:30AM the next day!
The next blog will include some highlights of the last few weeks of our stay here in Uaymitun!
Cheers from Uaymitun, MX!
Wonderful pics, as usual bro!!
