OPERA........????? In Puerto Morelos....????










Saturday night, the Cancun Opera Company had their star tenors, baritones and soprano do a concert, on the beach, on an amazing stage - FOR FREE.....gotta love Mexico!!!!!










The stage itself and the sound production - this is the sound crew - did an awesome job........










Decoration, lighting, sound production.....it was all amazing.....the show began with our traditonal Mayan dancers doing a few numbers....I was enjoying it so much I forgot to take pics.....doh!!!!!











Each opera singer sang several songs from popular operas, and then the 3 tenors.....oh, my.....did a couple of numbers together.













The 3 tenors........!!!!







3 tenors and the soprano, who had the voice and range of an angel. There was an intermission, and they set up the stage for the second half as if it was going to be mariachi music or something, and none of us had eaten, so we left and went to the Cantina for supper. Turns out we missed amazing singing in the 2nd half.....oh dear.......









But look who dropped back to town for a night....our dear friends Mark and Tanya from Kamloops, who joined Miki, Diane and I at the Opera and the Cantina for dinner!!!!












They are happy and healthy, all set to work at their lodge for the summer, and looking forward to being back in November for the winter!!!!












Yah, not a great shot, but you get the idea......










The next night we were invited back to Steve and Robins - AGAIN - gosh, we owe them so many dinners.....for one of Steve's famous "Bowls" - rice noodles, grilled peppers, pork ribs.....oh, my, so delicious........
We picked up an I Wanna Pizza as an appetizer - yum...one of PM's newest and most popular restos.











Camera is doing weird things in the night light....looks like everyone is moving.....












But we had a lovely evening, great food and the BEST hosts......!!!!!
