Welcome to this blog post that captures highlights from our 2024 Winter in Uaymitun!
This post will highlight some Outings and some Innings!
It would appear that this season’s weather has been greatly influenced by El Nino or La Nina or both. We’ll have 2-3 days of warm/hot sunny weather with winds from the E or SE … and then 3-4 days of cooler and windy weather with winds from the NE or NW!
The above video is what a typical storm approaching across the Gulf of Mexico from Texas looks like! They usually bring strong winds and occasionally heavy rain!
A couple of days later, another storm blew in with torrential rains… we got about 60mm of rain in a few hours as the following video shows!
The rains were so heavy our pool almost overflowed!
The next day, we went for an outing to one of our favourite pubs, Hermana República, near Xcanatun on the way into Mérida! We wanted to check it out as there was new signage at the entrance and we didn’t want to take any guests there if the menu and ambiance had changed!
That evening we enjoyed time on the patio and the “Wolf Moon”!
It was time for a Costco run!
We spent the afternoon at the pool and on the beach for sunset!
After seeing these little tracks in the sand on our beach many, many times, my curiosity got the better of me, so I asked a local FB group for input!
I got answers that ranged from Iguanas, to tiny little shelled animals, to Sandworms like in the movie Tremors! So the mystery continues!
We finally were able to make our schedules match for a visit with Julie and Curtis, so we met up in the Viejo Bar in Chicxulub near the pier!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch… DaveP, not DaveC nor DaveD captured this wonderful sunset pic!
On another note, here are two (2) reasons for spending time here in Uaymitun!
Ok… I guess that’s more that 2, but I think you catch my drift!
Well, I think I’ll close out this Winter’s 4th blog for now! The next one will highlight our first guests of the season!
Cheers!
Love to all,
-Doug and Elaine
I can’t believe all the wind and rain that you have had. Hope it is hot and sunny when we come to visit
Cool picture of the Wolfe Moon!
Nice to see pictures of the faces we have met in the past and some new ones.
Thanks for sharing!
