Welcome to our blog post that captures highlights from our first week back in Uaymitun!
On the Thursday after our arrival, we made a grocery run into Mérida to Costco and Chedraui! We found it a bit stressful as it was our first foray into a large city in many a moon! However, we found that everyone was masked and kept their distance… and the stores were really not all that busy!
Here’s some evening pics from the house and beach!
Val & George arrived that day too… I’ll let Val tell their travel stories on her blog, but needless to say it wasn’t as straightforward as they had planned!
It was a gorgeous evening and they came over for dinner! It was so good to be able to spend time with them again! It’s been a long 22 months!
Our next day was a very quiet day of relaxing and finishing unpacking our totes!
Saturday… A very special day has arrived!
January 8, 1972, 50 years ago today, Elaine and I were married in Kitchener, Ontario!
It is beyond belief that 50 years have passed since that day! As has happened to so many, our plans for celebration have been changed by the Pandemic!
With the well appreciated help of friends down here, the love of my life was delivered gorgeous bouquets of flowers from Janina Floreria in Mérida !

For many recent winters, we have celebrated our anniversary with Val & George at Hacienda Xcanatun near Merida. However, it has changed hands and the menu has changed quite a bit. So we decided to go to a new restaurant for our 50th Anniversary dinner. Humo Bistro in Progreso!
Any of our friends who have gone to Humo Bistro have given it great reviews! We booked a table on their patio where it was open aired and only a few tables. They followed proper protocols, so we felt very safe!
That concludes our 2nd blog of the 2022 winter season in Uaymitun! Next post will highlight out settling in time in Uaymitun, Chicxulub, Progreso and Mérida!
Cheers!
Love to all,
-Doug and Elaine
The wedding photo – so interesting. Congratulations!
One time, show us what’s in Costco and Chedraui. The unique to Mexico items in Costco would be especially interesting.
Happy Anniversary again great photos! I loved the food in Humo a really lovely restaurant. Oh I’m jealous xx
Sorry but this was posted by Anonymous! Who was the poster, please!
Happy Anniversary! Seems really lovely. Missing sunnier weather a bit here in SE Norway.
Fifty Years! Really? It sometimes seems like yesterday and at others a lifetime ago. I am however, in my mind, still the best man. We miss you guys and can’t wait to have you up here for a visit. Stay safe and enjoy the warmth.
We would love to come up for a visit!
