Morning in our villa, checking e-mail while having a cup of coffee.
Every morning is a good morning here in Chuburna. Typically we go for a walk before sitting down for our first morning cup of coffee. When it is cool and windy, we have our coffee in the villa instead of out on the patio facing the sea. It’s a good time for checking e-mail and reading various online newspapers. Of course, it is also a perfect time for talking with family using Skype.
With breakfast over and ready for another walk, we decided to walk along the highway, a narrow, rough paved road for a different path in hopes of seeing different scenery. We did get to see and photograph a number of things, birds and such along the way to the village. At the entrance to the village, we came across the sign indicating that the village was also a port (puerto). We haven’t been to the port yet, that will come on a different day.
We walked through the town until we came to the community graveyard on the northwest corner of the village, not too far from the beach. We wandered among the grave markers, some of which were shrines and some of which were simple wooden crosses. Looking out from the back of the graveyard, the sand and scrub bushes continued westward. Walking along the sand trail we came across this family fixing their palm-leaf stalk fence.
We then headed back to our villa so that Maureen could get ready for an afternoon outing with her friend Kathy. The two women were headed to Merida leaving me home alone for the afternoon and early evening. Not to worry though, as I had planned for a walk with the camera to the south, to the sea lagoon that stretches from Progreso westwards to points yet undetermined.
I walked for about three hours with camera in hand making sure that I took more than enough photos. Perhaps someday I will show some of them to you. Just ask. But for now, this post is done so I will say, hasta manana – until tomorrow.
