On Tuesday, we headed out to find 2 places on the Cenote Road which had been recommended. One is called Chak Tun Che, a newly forming restaurant on property owned by a local doctor. No menu - just ask for what you want and they will order and cook it for you!! This is a woodworking shop where a master furniture maker turns out amazing things - all out of found lumber, no trees cut.
Inside the main building and restaurant area, the decor is amazing - check out the bar with bottles inlaid...and lit up.
The other side of the room has a gift area with more wonderful wood carvings.
Lovely wooden bowls and mortars and pestals are also for sale, as well as beautiful drums.

| The outdoor grill and wood fired oven area. |
 |
| This young woman is the baker, turning out lots of whole grain natural bread to sell at our local grocery store in PM. We bought a loaf there and it is delicious. That huge ball behind her is the oven. |
 |
| The property has paths that wind through lovely jungle gardens, waterways and natural streams. |
 |
| this is the exterior of the main building....a work of art in itself...... |
 |
| These amazing tables are all crafted out of ends of lumber from all the hardwood trees which grow in the area. Amazing inlays and designs. |
 |
| This is the building beside the windmill, which, in addition to the solar panels on the property, supply all the electrical needs of the place. |
 |
| The solar panels are on the roof and on the ground of this palapa, and inside it is a ladder down to a natural cenote.......!!!!! This is an amazing place and we are going to plan a dinner there as soon as the budget allows. |
