Diane's Good Luck Dinner



A group of us got together at L'Oazis restaurant to honour the many years Diane has owned and run Mama's Bakery, now closed, and to wish her well on enhancing the Animal Rescue program in Puerto Morelos and other adventures!








We started outside for drinks, enjoying the breeze off the sea...................










and then moved to this beautifully decorated table which owner Martine set up for us. Martine, Flavio and Victor served us a wonderful 3 course dinner.












Everyone chatted around the tables, talked about how long they had known Diane, and got to know each other.










Unfortunately, Diane had been in bed with a severe sinus infection all week, so was never far from her box of Puffs.......but that nice bottle of wine from Patty and Em might help her feel better!











Patty and Miki chat about life in PM













Mary and Diane discuss the state of the world













And the wonderful chocolate flan even came with candles at the end of the meal! We all wish Diane much success in her new ventures!

Lazy beach days.....







This weekend in Puerto Morelos is one of the big fishing tournaments. Lots of extra people, cars and boats in town.











Was sitting at a favourite beachside bar having a chaya refresco, and noticing what a beautiful paint job had been done on the centre boat on the beach.












Suddenly 6 guys show up, lay some pipes under the boat, and with a few good grunts, launch it into the water. I am told an artist came from Cancun to do the artwork, so I wish I had gotten a close up of it - an amazing fish just before the name.








the view from our balcony at Los Viajeros.......that street goes one block and then you are at the beach......so nice to have a nice one hour beach walk every morning......












Ok, so I love taking pics of the beach and this amazing water.....soon enough we will be gone and have to live 6 months without this view........
