Welcome to our Uaymitun 2016 Blog!
It has been a difficult year, with the untimely passing of our brother-in-law, Rick, and Elaine’s dad this fall. We are looking forward to a time of rest and recuperation this winter!
Cheers from Uaymitun, MX!

Once again, even though the weather had been very gentle and mild for weeks, our journey appeared to be in peril!
However, our fears were unfounded and the morning brought warmer weather in Toronto and our flight was basically on time.
We ran into Tom MacAskill in the departure lounge!
A short 4 hours later, we arrived in Merida, with NO stop in Houston, and walked out into a warm and humid day!
After catching a cab downtown, we spent a night at our favourite small hotel, Luz en Yucatan, and a great dinner at La Tratto in Santa Lucia park!
The next day we got our rental car and headed out to Chicxulub to spend a few days with Mat & Terri!
Before we knew it, New Year’s Eve was upon us! We joined Mat & Terri and George & Val for a truly memorable evening at the Technotel near San Bruno! The food, the drinks, the entertainment and the venue were top notch… a good time was had by all!
We got a call from our owners to say that we could get into our beach house on Saturday afternoon! While being very appreciative of Mat & Terri’s hospitality, it was great to be home!
On Sunday, our former valedor, Panchita, and her family came out to visit next door where her son Alex still acts as valedor. It was great to see her and the family again, especially the new baby!
The weather has been great so far, with only one day where an el Norte made it cool, windy and wet.
That’s it for our first blog… stay tuned!
Cheers!
Love to all,
