din din and hockey.....

Fabulous dinner at Steve and Robin's the other night......













not sure what is happening with the camera.....oh dear.....we all have auras.......










First night of the Stanley Cup playoffs.....Hockey Night in Puerto Morelos, on the pool deck.......












we plug in the computer and the TV outside, get the game streamed on NHL.com, and then plug the computer into the TV so we can see it on a bigger (well, 22 inch, but bigger) screen...........












then we pop in and out of the pool to stay cool during the game....still 30 degrees at 10 pm.......











Botas isn't much of a cheerleader......he would rather chase his ball...........

More goodbyes and dancers!

Met Judith and 2 pals for a drink last night at Pangea to say goodbye to Tink, another friend who is leaving tomorrow to return to Amsterdam.









The place was packed - lovely beachside location with great food, a breeze off the ocean, and cruise ships sliding past in the night.....












These 2 amazing Flamenco dancers and guitarist wowed us before, and here they are again.....














They dance together, they dance individually........















and the wonderful footwork and expressions are awesome......














Both women have such finesse and grace - every movement is precise and lovely.....and very dramatic.....and the Spanish guitarist is simply unbelievable.....














Tink was invited to join one of them - and she did a great job in her bare feet and bikini outfit........









Goodbye dear Tink - happy travels in Europe and southeast Asia - PM will miss your smiling face!

dinner and laundry......

Robin and Steve invited Shelly, Gino and I for dinner this week....another fabulous meal, boys!! We leave May 1 and S & G leave May 10, so these gatherings will have to last us till next winter.











Laundry day - I wash all our clothing by hand in a big wash tub, and dry it on the line in the courtyard...makes for a colourful yard on wash days!









Most on the line, shirts on hangers from the tree - it all dries very quickly and smells wonderful being outside.












One of the little males I had neutered this winter hangs out, plays with clothes pins, and sleeps in the lawn chair.......








Someone (local kid?) put a small elastic around his neck, so I changed it for a big one. So many black cats, it is hard to tell who is who in the zoo!!

More goodbyes.........

Tom, John (the photographer) and Michele all left last Saturday, so we had a farewell dinner at Merkaditos and then went to the new Cheers to see Hearts Desire play, a great duo from Ontario. See you all again next winter....!










More leavings this week - Randall and Louis Rocket Project play their last show at David Lau's for the season.










The music had everyone up dancing - including this 80+ year old couple who rock here frequently.....












Michael and Sharon get into the groove......









....and even the "I don't dance" Les and Sharon have some fun.......










Last show night, so time for even Valorie to get up and dance with Sharon.......

See you guys next year!!!!

Animals, beach and theatre...a day off.

you are probably tired of seeing all our critters at breakfast, but this was an all black moment.....

Botas on the chaise with his ball, doing a profile pic for Miki

and a lounging pose on the rug......

We took Botas to his favourite place, South Beach, on a long long rope....me on one end, him on the other...

he just loves to run and jump in the waves and chew coconuts...

but then he has to collapse, drink water and rest in the shade....

beautiful South Beach...

also known as Magic Beach........

and the day ended with a play in the square...a comedy....well attended! PM never ceases to surprise with entertainment in the town square!!!

FM3 Celebration Dinner!

As some of you know, we just got our FM3 cards - and so did Steve and Robin. I suggested an FM3 celebration dinner and the Boyz responded.......here are our new cards!!!

On the dining table was the smallest sunflower I have ever seen.....

Lola is always a gracious hostess.....bringing us toys...

and this is Rio's last night as a "real man" - tomorrow is neuter day.....

Steve and Robin served a wonderful chicken dinner.......

in their beautifully lit garden courtyard......

and this is the new palapa, where Steve's salon will be soon....

omg - fresh basil and mint, right out of their garden....

here's our goofy gang with their cards in various places....

Must have been on a night setting....thanks for a great evening and FM3 celebration!!!
