Welcome to this blog post that captures highlights from our 2024 Winter in Uaymitun!
This blog post will highlight the arrival of our first guests of the season and spending enjoyable times with family and friends! And maybe a few random sunset pics, just cuz!
We’re very happy that WestJet has added a 2nd flight every week, on Thursdays, to their normal Tuesday flights. It definitely allows more flexibility for incoming guests to choose travel dates!
Last Thursday, WestJet delivered Elaine’s Aunt Betty and her daughter-in-law Joanne to us for a couple of weeks at the beach! Aunt Betty and Uncle Bob had a very memorable visit with us back in 2016, but this was Joanne’s first exposure to the Yucatán!
They came out of the airport quite quickly and actually had their luggage, so off we went back out to the beach to get settled in!
After another great sunset… finally getting lots of good sunset weather…
…we asked if Betty and Joanne were felling adventurous! So off we went to La Loncheria Carolina on the Chicxulub Square!
And then a great stroll down to the pier and back to the square!
Now about those sunset pics… we couldn’t believe the one the following evening as the cloud cover provided the perfect reflector!
As Elaine reminds me… great landscape pics, but where’s the people pics?
The weekend before our guests arrived, we went to our most favourite pub, Hermana República, with neighbours Dave and Carolyn!
Last Sunday, it was great to spend a little time with Boomer and Peggy as they were back in Uaymitun for a few days!
Not actually people per se, but I was able to stop for a minute on the Costera and grab a pic of the myriad of birds sheltering in the wetlands beside Chicxulub!
According to Wikipedia, the American White Pelican rivals the trumpeter swan, with a similar overall length, as one of the longest birds native to North America. While they breed in parts of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, they migrate to sunnier, warmer climes for the winter… including the Yucatán!
While the following forecast from Meteorologia Yucatan wasn’t for the impending storm… I absolutely love his recommendations!
A special shoutout to our daughter, Trish, on her 50th birthday!
Well, I think I’ll close out this Winter’s 5th blog for now! The next one will highlight a slight wind storm!
Cheers!
Love to all,
-Doug and Elaine
Another great blog Doug, thanks for sharing.
As always…your pics of people and places and your sunsets are always so nice to see! Thx for sharing and enjoy
This morning we had our first sign of snow in about 3 weeks. After breaky I went out to shovel….. it had melted. That is winter here in Northern Ont. Sorry, no suggestions on how to protect property and wild life
Looks like you are having another amazing Yucatan Winter. Keep the updates coming!
Tom and Jennifer

Sunsets are so beautiful
