Uaymitun 2025-Blog Post #6 “A Sibs Reunion!”

Welcome to this blog post that captures highlights from our 2025 Winter in Uaymitun!

This blog post will highlight Valentine’s in Uaymitun and a reuniting of the Sibs!

In previous years, we have celebrated Valentine’s Day in many locales down here! This year, we went to Almadía in Progreso!

Spending Valentine’s Day with the Love of my Life!
Great pic, but would have been better if I had listened to someone saying “we need to move over a bit”!
That’s better!

A short walk along the Malecón brought us to a rather famous local house that has been renovated and turned into a restaurant.

The next day, it was off to the airport to pick up brother Roger and wife Sandy!

Aeromexico flight this time!
Welcome to …
… Mérida

Good friends of ours, Paul & Kari Richer, were celebrating several birthdays at a big bash at their place near Km 13. Rog & Sandy went for dinner and a visit with Val & George that evening!

Birthday Boy, Paul…
… and Birthday Girl, Kari!
A great crowd of friends and family

One of R & S’s bucket list things was another afternoon at FACES… so Matt & Terri arranged a table for us all!

Dancing…
… dancing…
… dancing…
… and dancing… a good time was had by all!

A couple of days later, we heading for a walk on the Malecón.

In a previous blog, I mentioned the raised road for truck traffic on C. 82… well this is a block away from the pier and with this slope, it will block C. 75 (aka C. 25) near where the Yucatan Vacation Rentals office is.

For R & S’s last night with us, us Sibs all went into Mérida to La Tratto in Santa Lucia Parque for dinner.

A great table beside the atrium
We had a great dinner together

After dinner, we went for stroll down C. 60 to the Gran Plaza

The revitalized C. 60 is beautiful at night
The Teatro José Peón Contreras theatre is hopefully going to re-open in November 2025
Rectoría El Jesús Tercera Orden was having a wedding!
Catedral de San Ildefonso is always beautiful to see in the evening

Courtesy of family friend Kent Wong, we have a reprise to our Progreso Jacket pic from several years ago!

The next morning, before Rog & Sandy left to visit Julie and Curtis in Chelem, we grabbed another Sibs photo for posterity!

The Sibs 2025

Well, I think I’ll close out this Winter’s 6th blog for now! The next one will highlight visits by more friends!

Cheers!

Love to all,

-Doug and Elaine
