Our time here in Uaymitun is almost at an end… we leave for Merida tomorrow and fly home on Thursday! Unless an extra special adventure presents itself, this will be HelpMe! HelpMe!’s last blog post from Mexico!

---

One day, Nana told Papa that he was looking a bit shaggy, so we went into Chicxulub to get his hair cut!

On another day, Papa took us to a real fancy, schmancy place for lunch called the Hacienda X’Canatun. Papa said it was time I appreciated some of the finer things in life… as long as I didn’t make a scene!

Later that day we visited a really old hacienda called Yaxcopoil! It was really neat ‘cuz things were left as they were a 100 years ago!

On our way home, we went into Merida to the Liverpool Mall! I like malls!

Yesterday, we all went to visit the San Ignacio Cenote in Chochola!

When we got back to our house in Uaymitun last night, Papa took me down to the beach to see the sunset!

---

Thanks for watching my first blog… I really enjoyed seeing and doing so many things and meeting so many wonderful people here in Uaymitun, Yucatan, Mexico!

---

Kirsty,

I hope you’ve enjoyed HelpMe! HelpMe!’s Excellent Mexican Adventure! She’ll be waiting for you to find her the next time you’re over to our house!

HelpMe! HelpMe!

Love,

-nana and papa

After much urging, HelpMe! HelpMe! has finally been able to spare time away from her beach chair to update her blog!

Nana and Papa try to take me everywhere they go! One day we went to see the Mayan ruins at Mayapan.

We had lunch a cool place called Na Lu’Um which Papa says is Mayan for ‘little cats should be thankful and obedient’!

On another day, Nana and Papa and their friends Dave and Deb took me into Merida.

… after lunch we visited the big square in downtown Merida near the cathedral!

What a big day that was… time for bed!

Dear Kirsty Wursty,

Another HelpMe! HelpMe! post to her blog…

---

Nana and Papa always let me come when we go to the airport… this time it was for Dave & Deb!

The next night we went out for dinner!

One day we decided to take a little trip to Conkal to see the town and hope to find the casa where Dave stayed many years ago when he was here with his friend Raul, the baseball player. We didn’t find it but had a great time visiting the church and the square.

When we left, it was like we jumped through a time warp, because less than 20 minutes later we parked outside the AltaBrisa Mall in Merida!

After we were done in the Mall, we walked across the parking lot to the Boston’s which is like Boston Pizza but Mexican.

---

Not to worry, HelpMe! HelpMe! was alright after she rested at home!

Watch for her next blog post, when she went to the San Crisanto mangroves!

Love,

Nana and Papa

Dear Kirsty Wursty,

Another HelpMe! HelpMe! post to her blog…

---

I’ve been very busy visiting with Tia Val & Tio George and Don & Michelle and Dave & Deb, so this blog is a mashup of many, many adventures!!!

Nana and Papa always take me along when someone gets their hair done at Gaby’s in Chicxulub! I like Gaby and she likes me!

---

One day, we went for lunch on the Malecon in Progreso at La Casa del Malecon.

---

On the night of the Premiere of this season’s Survivor, Nana and Papa took me over to Dave and Diane’s casa to watch!

… I did lots of other stuff too…

---

One of my favourite outings was to Costco! What fun!

---

One day, Nana and Papa took Don & Michelle and me to the Mercado (market) in Progreso… it was very scary!

I was very glad to escape from the Mercado ‘carneria’ section… so was Michelle! She said it smelt funny there!

To make it up to me, and Michelle, we went for lunch at Henequene’s on the Malecon!

---

On Thursday night, Dave and Deb arrived…

---

We had the bestest time at San Crisanto mangrove tour!

We stopped for lunch in Telchac Puerto at the La Picuda restaurant near the pier. Some people had yummy garlic shrimp… Papa had a plate of french fries!

That’s all for now… Salut! from Uaymitun!

---

I hope you enjoyed HelpMe! HelpMe!’s latest adventures… everyone at the Mercado in Progreso really liked having her visit!

Love,

-nana and papa

Another HelpMe! HelpMe! blog post! She’s getting pretty good at this now!

---

Nana & Papa, Tia Val & Tio George, Don & Michelle and I went to the Technotel Hotel for Valentine’s Dinner! They tell me the food was excellent!

For their main course, Nana had the camarones (shrimp-yuck) but Papa had a nice steak! They were too busy eating to take a picture!

---

The next HelpMe! HelpMe! blog post will be a mashup of a lot of little adventures… like going to see Gaby for hair styling and even going to Costco!

Love to all,

Nana and Papa

Every day, HelpMe! HelpMe! begs to go to the beach, but we were a little worried to let her go alone!

Today, we relented… just goes to prove Nana and Papa know best!

Checklist:

• Suntan Lotion
• Towel
• Insect Repellent

… insect repellent… bah… won’t need that!!!

Ah… gentle breezes… lot’s of sun…

…scritch, scritch, scritch… Hmmm, strange noise!

…scritch, scritch, scritch… Hmmm, what is that noise!

…scritch, scritch, scritch… Aaaaah! HelpMe! HelpMe!

Not to worry… HelpMe! HelpMe! escaped without a sting because of Papa’s quick action!

However, the picture of the scorpion is real… our neighbour found it on her patio the other day!

The scorpion attack was staged with the talents of Kent Wong, good friend of George and Val!

And, yes, Jack, we know that a scorpion is part of the arachnid family and is not an insect! 🙂

Another blog by HelpMe! HelpMe!

We’ve been on several outings and trips since my last blog, so here’s the highlights:

We’ve also done some trips into Chicxulub…

---

They took me with them on the trip to Celestun too!

---

Yesterday, we went to see Dzibilchaltun, the ruins of a large Mayan city, about a 1/2 hour drive from Uaymitun.

---

Watch this space for more adventures of HelpMe! HelpMe!

You can find more on the trip to Celestun and soon the trip to Dzibilchaltun on the A Uaymitun Story blog!

Note to our nietos y nietas… no alcoholic beverages were actually consumed by HelpMe! HelpMe! during her stay in Uaymitun… otherwise, we’d be concerned she was turning into a lush!

Love to all,

-nana and papa

Dear blogophiles,

Today, HelpMe! HelpMe! shows how to make dinner in Uaymitun in 10 easy steps…

---

Watch this space for HelpMe! HelpMe!’s next blog post on her trip to the Mall!

After much discussion, HelpMe! HelpMe! is going to ‘produce’ this blog post… for better or worse!

Tuesday was the day that Tia (Aunt) Val and Tio (Uncle) George arrived, but not until after 9 that night! Way past my bedtime and Nana and Papa’s too!

---

Waiting, waiting, waiting… and they wouldn’t let me have a hamburguesa con queso at the Merida Aeropuerto BK! 🙁

They’re here, they’re here!

Here’s me and my favourite tía y tío posing in front of the Merida Jaguar at the airport.

We always enjoy our morning coffee by the pool!

Of course, we needed to pick up a few things, but we stopped on the Malecon in Progreso for some lunch first… Nana’s sharing her Margarita!

I’m with Papa… we like the Salbutes the best!

Lookit! Lookit! Wildlife in the empty lot beside the Bodega!

Today, Tia Val absolutely needed to have her hair cut, so we went into Chicxulub to La Casa de Gaby (although there was no official sign or anything).

More waiting… I hate waiting… and Papa wouldn’t even let me play on the playground equipment! Said it was for kids only! Can’t he see the dog in there!!!

To pass the time we went to the Chicxulub pier, but it was pretty quiet as the wind was very strong today!

Finally Tia Val had her hair finished…

… and Tio George treated us to Helados (Ice Cream)! Tia Val and I love the Vanilla!

---

Keep a watch out for the next episode of HelpMe! HelpMe!’s Mexican adventure!

It’s Monday and it’s time for HelpMe! HelpMe!’s first official outing! We’re going shopping and someone is very excited about getting out of the house!

---

Our first stop was to the Lavanderia in Chicxulub where your laundry gets charged by the Kilo.

Then we stopped next door at the Mercado to pick up some peppers and sour oranges from Jose.

Then, onto the Bodega Aurrera in Progreso…

…and you thought it was hard shopping with kids!

She was insistent on getting the cow paper towels!

Back home now and relaxing by the pool… someone is trying to pilfer some of the “Hot Nuts”!

It was a beautiful day, so naturally someone wanted to go swimming too!

Two tired kitties… so to speak!

---

Be sure to tune in again for the further adventures of HelpMe! HelpMe! in Uaymitun!

Tomorrow, she’s going to the airport to pick up her Aunt Val and Uncle George!
