Welcome to this blog post that captures highlights from our 2025 Winter in Uaymitun!
This blog post will highlight our final 2-1/2 weeks in Uaymitun and Mérida!
I’ll start out this blog with some more beach pics…
We had another visit with Bob & Pat in Mérida to take in the Guelaguetza Festival otherwise known as the Oaxaca Food Fair!
As our time ran down, we made sure to check off a couple more things from our Bucket List.
One surprise for us was our little cat, Gatito, from last year and a few times this year is no longer “Gatito” but “Gatita” and she is going to be a Mama! Wow!
This was not a normal winter season for us, with January being mostly a month of rest and recovery. February and into March was very busy with visits from Don & Sharon, Bill & Selena, Rog & Sandy, Afie and Dave & Deb. It was good to spend time with Raymond & Pamela, Bob & Pat and neighbours Dave & Jeanette. We also treasured our time with Val & George and Julie & Curtis.
And then, almost suddenly, it was time to pack up and leave the beach!
It’s also bitter/sweet to say farewell to Miguel, Maria and the boys!
After saying our goodbyes, it was off to Mérida!
We dropped the car off to Yucatán Vacations at the Fiesta Americana Hotel, and then checked into our favourite spot, Luz en Yucatán for 3 nights!
As the weather was very hot, 38-40c, we waited until early evening to go for dinner at Amaro!
On our way back to the Luz, we came upon another wedding…
After a light lunch at La Tratto, we just had to go check out Babe’s Noodles & Bar across the street!
For our last dinner, we went to Chaya Maya for Yucatecan style food
Homeward bound!
Our plans for the travel home that morning changed due to impending terrible weather. Don & Sharon picked us up from the airport and we went straight to Wellesley to give a quick hug to Kerry and the boys… then it was off to Sarnia through snow, sleet, freezing rain, ice pellets and then heavy rain.
We were very thankful to be home safely!
Well, this will close out this Winter’s 8th and final blog! As always, we’re looking forward to return for another Winter in Uaymitun in 2026!
Cheers!
Love to all,
-Doug and Elaine
Thanks for the blog bro, it sure brings back some great memories.
Thanks Sis… great memories!
Your photos really elicited what to us is an exotic place, since we have not been in that region for a while. However in late November we will go back to Costa Rica, and plan to follow with cycling in Yucatan. So it’s possible we will pass by to bug you in 2026!
Thanks Steve & Dodie! Enjoy Costa Rica… we’ll look for you in Uaymitun in 2026!
Doug, was thinking of you and your famous tshirt. Thought this might have been the year, and alas….. another Leaf collapse
Have a great summer
Tom and Jen
Thanks, Tom & Jen! Enjoy your HH summer!
