Social times!

We set up some visits with friends that Lee, staying with us from Ek Balam, also knows.



Diane dropped in to John Gray's Mother in Law's for lunch and a visit, and then had to head back to bake for Mama's.






Rob and Joanne dropped by for a visit and a drink too.






Now, I have to apologize for this photo. We attended a video and Q & A about the research our friend Jill has done on the caves in the area. Here is the brief explanation of the presentation - Crustacea is a submerged cave, located near Puerto Morelos. It is full of a rare crustacion called a remipede, which was discovered and named by Jill. In addition, a number of other endangered creatures inhabit this cave. Because of this biodiversity, this cave, and others in the area, are in danger from the developments happening in the region. In addition to (Dr.) Jill, Olmo Torres Talamente from the local university, UNAM, and other cave specialists attended this meeting and answered many questions from the audience.













After the film, we headed over to David Lau's to listen to Kathy's band, and were joined by Lauren. Had supper there and enjoyed visiting and listening to the music.
