Uaymitun 2022-Blog Post #7 “This and That!”

Welcome to our blog post that highlights some goings-on in Uaymitun!

I appear to have been falling behind in my postings… so I’ll try to catch up in this one!

I’ve previously mentioned some of the recent changes in Chicxulub since our hasty departure in March of 2020, and here’s another!

A new sign out on the pier
They saved the old Chicxulub Meteorite sign!

One evening we received a knock on our door only to find Miguel and Maria delivering some “Comida Casera” (home cooking) for our enjoyment!

Homemade soup and panuchos! Yumm!

As the weather improved heading into February, we were able to enjoy evenings on the patio!

Warm, gentle breezes and a great view!

With better weather we can also enjoy our days outside…

Mango Margaritas on the patio…
The occasional dip in the pool…
… in the Gulf… shuffle, shuffle…
and sitting on the beach taking in the view!
For “Death in Paradise” TV show fans… meet Harry!
Duck, Sharon! Duck! Oops, too late!

Val & George had heard from their valedor that there was going to be a Triathlon Race starting next door them and sure enough, there was!

Awaiting the starters pistol…
Off they go…
Instead of run, dive, swim it was run, wade, wade, wade, wade, swim!
wade, wade, wade, swim
pedal, pedal, pedal…

This year again, we were treated to a another visit by “The Rach”! She was down visiting Val & George from Jan 25th to Feb 9th! We felt sorry for her as the weather did NOT cooperate… very cool and blustery!

For our Anniversary dinners down here, we’ve been going with Val & George to Hacienda Xcanatun for several years. But due to recent ownership changes, we went to Humo Bistro instead.

So we picked a nice day and took in a late lunch/supper (aka Lupper) at Hacienda Xcanatun to try out the menu! Some old fav’s were gone (no Stickly Lemon Chicken or Pate), but some new fav’s were discovered!

Some weather moments…

It’s hard not to try to capture some of the beautiful sunsets here on the beach! In January, the sun sets behind the big palapa house down the beach, but by the beginning of March it’s now setting out over the water!

However, the weather isn’t always so benevolent! We did have quite a storm in the middle of February!

It started getting darker out over the gulf…
…and darker…
…and darker, until…
The downpour starts!
The overflow from the roof floods the patio!
Trying to keep the overflow from the living room
That’s a lotta rain!!!!
The driveway was a pond for quite awhile!

To close out this blog, here’s another episode of “Things you won’t find back home”! While not all of these items actually fit this mold, they were interesting finds in any case!

Orejas or as we call them Elephant Ears!
Kirkland’s own microwave popcorn… the best by far!
They’re not kidding when they say “Flamin’ Hot” potato chips
As modelled by Hand & Foot Champ, Pamela, Paxe Taxo nibbles!
Eggs are not to be found in the Dairy Cooler!
Not to traumatize anyone, but a Paleta Payaso or “Clown Lolly”
Licor 43 (actually you can get it at the LCBO) but hadn’t seen it here before!
An unexpected find in Soriano in AltaBrisa Mall, Niagara VQA Eastdell Reisling!

That’s it for this blog post! Until next time…

Cheers!

Love to all,

-Doug and Elaine
