Viewing the coast 300 yards out in the water is a very different feel than walking on the same beach. Both are rather wonderful!
We had the fun opportunity of joining friends for a boat tour along the coast near Sisal, and then we transferred to flat-bottom boats in the lagoons to see more birds and beauty.
Sunrise walks,
We shared videos of our sunrise Flamingo tour in our last post. Here, we share the story in pics. Enjoy!
A couple of hundred yards behind our house in Sisal is a lagoon. So near but yet so far! From Seashore to Lagoon is like changing countries! The birds love the Mangrove Islands and the shallow waters. So did we!
On December 18th we left Lizzie (our puppy dog) in Mexico and traveled to the States for a month.
Leaving our dog in Mexico felt very weird, yet we knew she was in good hands.
We found the best pet sitters through a Facebook group called House/Pet sitters in Mexico. Christina, Tony & William (their 2 yr old son) took great care of our house, and loved on Lizzie till we returned Jan 19th.
We’ve been here three months.
Wow! That went fast.
The first 6 weeks in Merida were a blur of immersion in culture, language and sights and sounds and tastes of a place completely new to us. Exciting, wonderful, stretching, thought and discussion provoking, we were breathless.
Coconut water everywhere and not a drop to drink! That is, until our neighbor Aaron stopped by and asked us if we liked it. Si!
The next day he comes with three coconuts and his machete and we have coconut water.
Seashore sounds. Seashore smells. And, one of my honey’s favorite: Seashore shells!
Not only this, his artist eye for beauty, shapes, lines and colors comes out in his most recent activity - beautiful seashell arrangements - all from items found at the beach.
Ka-Plop! Poor fish! He just slid sown the Pelican gullet.
The birds are so amazing and fun to watch!
We love the wave skimming, the fishing dives,and the new sounds of early morning birds that live in our neighborhood down here.
Have we told you we have a great property manager? He knew we wanted fresh fish, so gave us a head’s up text about the fishermen selling their catch of fresh Liza. They weren’t even gutted yet.
Thanks Manuel! They are delicious!
