\"Returning<\/a><\/dt>\n
Returning home in time for lunch.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

The past two weeks has been a time to engage in a lot of rest and relaxation here in Mexico.\u00a0 In a way, many would say we have been leading a boring life.\u00a0 Each day we begin with a long beach walk followed by time in the sea, a time for playing, cooling off and “exercising”.\u00a0 A small lunch and then it time to read during the heat of the afternoon before we go for another late afternoon walk.\u00a0 Okay, so there is more than that happening, a bit more.\u00a0 We do go into Progreso on occasion for either groceries or for my Spanish lessons.\u00a0 Other than that, nothing much.<\/p>\n

\"dsc04862\"<\/a>\"dsc04767\"<\/a>While walking we see a lot of birds such as this Little Blue Heron and these beautiful sea birds that I don’t have named yet.\u00a0 Our favourite bird is the pelican.\u00a0 It is kind of ugly in its way, but it is sure entertaining as it dive bombs into the water.\u00a0 As often as not, the pelican misses and sits for a bit stunned by the head on impact.<\/div>\n
\"dsc04906\"<\/a>We have been fortunate to have flamingos fly passed our villa twice in the past week.\u00a0 The birds were on their way to a small colony not too far out of Progreso, about twenty minutes east.<\/div>\n
\n
\"dsc04893\"<\/a>During the passed week there have been a number of beach clean-up activities taking place as everyone tries to get our beach ready for the influx of Mexicans who come to the seacoast in order to spend their Easter holidays, a two week celebration here in the Yucatan.<\/div>\n
\"dsc04786\"<\/a>Each evening we have been having the most beautiful sunsets that can be imagined.\u00a0 And, as night falls, we watch the moon grow and the stars come out.\u00a0 \"dsc04799\"<\/a>Here with the new moon, the planet Venus is seen in what I would call the ascendant position.\u00a0\u00a0 For the past three or four\u00a0nights we have been lucky enough to be able to sit on our beach side patio under the light of a full moon and enjoy very gentle breezes as we listen to a gentle lapping of waves on the shore line.\u00a0 Of course, at times like these we sit back with our glasses of wine and toast our family and friends who are suffering record-setting winter conditions.\u00a0 Hasta luego.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
