Another Useful Sign: No Moving Chairs
Meaning they don't move? or don't move them? or don't move them to Cuba??? Anyway, great spot for a drink on the way from North Beach to Punta Sur.
I'll Have a Large Corona to Go!
Next door to Qubano is this nice market with the grande Corona. Life large mi amigo.
Message on a bottle
We like Cristal water. We especially like agua mineral. This is a nice message to the effect of your life flowing like water.
Lobster Hunting off Punta Sur
This fellow was swimming out past the old zipline past the sandbar to find a lobster. Watch out for the touristas in boats!!!!!!
Didi's Barracuda
Fishing and Whale Sharks with the fine folks at Santa Rosa. Seas were tough but Didi caught a barracuda and we had a great swim with the whale sharks.

SCHOOL OF RAYS OFF ISLA MUJERES
We say these rays on our return trip from Isla Holbox to Isla Mujeres last week. We are told the oil spill has changed the patterns of where the rays go forcing them further south towards Isla. It was a beautiful magical site to behold.
We estimated about 300 to 400 rays in this school. They were generally 2 or 3 deep and moved as one.
We have some video to share as well later.
We got feedback these are probably cownose rays.

The Turtle Tracks on Isla
We started off our trip to Isla Holbox with a stop on the beach to see where the turtles had laid their eggs the night before.
Angel with Iguana
We took a day trip to Isla Holbox. More pictures about that later but this seemed like such a special shot.

Yahtzee with 1's on the First Roll at Alcantildo
A favorite Isla past time is playing Yahtzee, having an adult beverage, and waiting for the food. We are known on the island as the dice folks. We also love Rummikub and Sequence. Isla and games are a great combo.
Sunlight over the Lighthouse on Punta Sur
Climb the steps of the Lighthouse and then have a cold cerveza at Alcantildo.
HERE AND NOW: ISLA MUJERES
I think this is a grand sentiment. If you're not here now, then get here soon!

Isla Sky 2
Keep telling myself: It's just a sky, it's just a sky....but of course it's not just any sky, it's the sky over Punta Sur. Today it is raining...which we love....so this will be our virtual sky of the day.

CENTER OF MAYA ENERGY
Some people live on the edge, but we prefer the Center. And on Punta Sur it is the center of mayan energy. I can feel it too!!!
The Chapel of Punta Sur
New addition - benches and a little concrete "stage" at the end of the island. Perfect place to watch the sunrise.
Majestic Sunrise Isla
This is from the center of Mayan Energy - Punta Sur, Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Shot around 5:30 in the morning. Now this is INSPIRING!!
