Welcome to this blog post that captures highlights from our 2024 Winter in Uaymitun!
This blog post will highlight the arrival of longtime friends and frequent guests here, Dave & Deb and, as Ed Sullivan said those many years ago… “The Beatles!”
We had a quiet week between Betty and Joanne leaving and Dave & Deb arriving!
Although the plane arrived early, Dave and Deb were delayed quite a while due to their baggage cart breaking down!
After a quick trip from the airport out to the beach… they settled in!
For supper the next night, we went up the coast to Pizza Paradiso!
That was followed by a quiet day at the beach and another great sunset!
The next night we hit one of their “bucket list” restaurants for their visit!
It’s always nice to take time out to just go on a walkabout in our village, Chicxulub!
That evening it was a night at the Viejo Bar with the Beatles tribute band “Now and Then”!
It was great to spend time with Matt & Terri again! “Now and Then” were a great band and a good time was had by all!
A few pictures from some everyday kinda stuff…
We continued to bounce between a hot, humid day and a couple of cooler windy Él Norté days. The NE winds eventually brought a few unwelcome guests to the beach.
We had a quick trip into Costco in Mérida for a few provisions.
The next day was one of the “good” days…
The next day we went up to the Chelem market!
While us manly men rested with a Breakfast Burrito, the ladies went off shopping at the various artisans!
One of the highlights of this winter was the opportunity to spend an afternoon and evening with Panchita and family. She and her kids looked after us for the 2013, 14 and 15 seasons before she had to relinquish the role. We try to spend time with her each winter!
Well, I think I’ll close out this Winter’s 9th blog for now! The next one will highlight a surprise birthday party! Shhhhhhh!
Cheers!
Love to all,
-Doug and Elaine
Another great blog Doug, lovely pictures, great to see Panchita looking so good.
Awesome sunsets. Looks like lasagna a la Delmonte! Mmmmm!
Really enjoyed this entry. Great sunset photos, and overall. We are in Portugal now, and just a little chilly!
Food is always enjoyable in Mexico! For those of you who don’t know both Doug and Elaine are amazing cooks! Pizza at Paradisio was good and our dinner at Elio’s was amazing! Of course Dave enjoyed his Kirkland dog and I enjoyed my pizza.
The band for the Beatles Tribute were top notch and it was great to see Matt and Terri.
As always Sunsets on the beach are a Must! Pictures are beautiful ❤️ Thanks for another great blog
Next year……We will be there….
