That’s me, preparing to jump! It looks so much higher when you’re there. I yelled before I jumped, “This is for all the old ladies”…. and jumped.

That’s Chris and Meghan, King and Queen of the jungle!

Chris, my son and his girlfriend, Meghan arrived late last night. So glad to have them here. This morning went to my favorite breakfast place, El Nicho.

Evening Dinner

I found my favorite Captain Joaquin. Went on earlier morning snorkel. It wasn’t the best of days. It’s windy, with a current and not so good visibility. Got few good pics. I saw 2 large sting rays.

It’s April 2021, the last time I was in Puerto Morelos was April 2019. The year 2020 was a lost one with the Corona Virus pandemic. I’ve been dreaming of jumping into the cool, clear water of the Caribbean sea. Now I’m here!

I came alone, rented 2 apartments for a month and invited friends and family to visit for a week each.

Was tired when I got here, from the stress of all the arrangements and getting everyone vaccinated.

I went snorkeling, couldn’t wait! The day wasn’t ideal, it was windy, currents, lower visibility. Got some pics.

This morning, much to my dissappointment, its really windy. Went to pier, very few boats. Saw Joaquín, terrible day for snorkeling. He offered to take us to the cenotes tomorrow if still windy.

Went to the plaza, a craft fair was going on.

Went to breakfast at El Nicho, a favorite. They just opened a new back patio. Orie loves their eggs Benedict. I tried a new omelet but didn’t like it as much as my standbys.

We has 2 breakfasts, cofre and fresh squeezed juice for $14.00 US. From the picture the sauce looks green, it wasn’t. it was so delicious.

Went to the store, did a little shopping.  Time was going fast..Its Sunday,.leaving on Wed.

Most evenings we visit the mobile bread and dessert car.

Found a turtle mounting another.

The mánager told us that a COATI MUNDI (mexican raccoon) got in and attacked 2 turtles (tortugas in spanish). They bit of an arm of of 2 turtles. U can see that the larger os missing his right arm. Poor thing. Hope the smaller male wasn’t taking advantage of her.

 

Por turtle only has one arm (tripod)

Heres the vermit that but of the turtles arm…..Coati Mundi
