More Mexico...

Hope I am not making you all feel miserable with these photos of Caribbean splendor. Especially those of you back home who just came in from shovelling the driveway for the second time this morning.
Just show them to your sweetheart and say "See? That's what we need to do!"
Really, it took us over 25 years before we finally bit the bullet and went on an all inclusive vacation - just the two of us. Actually it took us 25 years before we went anywhere without all the kids.
We've been doing it every year since... we have been married 30 years.
I will warn you. Once you've been, you will want to return - as often as the bank account lets you!
So on to warmer views then your snowed in driveway...



This one was for you Jess - it's called a Blue Hawaiian
Hope the day went smoothly. I thought of you and was momentarily sorry I couldn't be there to help out.





Iguana - he was about 12-16 inches long and let me get right up close.
He's probably used to nosy tourists.

We walk a lot - every day. Sometimes over and hour on the beach. You have to with all this fantastic food.

Not bad for grandparents!
Gosh, I love this guy!!

I'm always keeping my eye out for a good spot for a photo of the two of us. AND it has to have a place to perch the DSLR too. So far I have not had the camera go crashing down to the ground. Sometimes people pass by and offer to take the photo but when they can't see the picture on the back of the camera they get confused. No one knows how to look through a viewfinder anymore.


Last night. The camera is on a table and the table is balanced on one of the lounge chairs. The exposure is 6 seconds. It is hard to stay perfectly still for six seconds....... sweetheart is saying with non moving lips "LAST one dear.... LAST one"

He truly is the most patient husband in the whole world.

If it is not too windy today we plan the 45 min beach walk into Puerto Morales.
Good photo ops there!
