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 …
Sunrise walks, sunset vistas, seashell ambles, cooling gulf breezes, surf sounds at night, quiet morning swims… have satisfied something in our cores… so we’re coming back next fall. same beach, same house, same wonderful landlord. See you again soon, Sisal!
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! This post shows you the videos of our tour. We are at this moment in …
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.

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. Enjoy the beauty and the creativity! Which one is your favorite? …
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. We thought you’d like a few examples. Crane Fly-by Pelican Fly-by …
