3/7 pics














A cloudy windy walk















































This is the old Dolphin Discovery build we left from in 2008. They have just left it to fall apart; it is such a quaint building, I think someone should do something with it.










View of Royal Cancun (lower levels, not the "higher" building) from the point of Casa Maya.











This is one of the two cats around.










And yes, Olivia, they STILL have big mouths!

Tuesday 3/6

Last night was so windy, but just before dark, I decided to walk the dock. I saw a cap floating in the surf. Someone must have lost it...had blown off their head (it said Dolphin Discovery). So I followed it for about 20 minutes in the waves bouncing hither and thither and finally it got close enough to grab it. I did have the good grace to take it and ask the fisherman on the dock if it was his. But he assured me it was not. It probably could have blown all the way over from Dolphin Discovery at Isla!!!

Whoa----another cool & windy day......
Talked with the MN Murphys and they said “well it is Murphy’s Law”....(-:   
So, not a whole lot to do. We were whimps and bowed out of water aerobics..just too cold!! Thought you only had to do that in SD!
But we took about 1 ½ mile hike to the closest flea market....got a few last things. Can’t believe our time is nearly up and we are looking at ‘last minute things’....using up the food we have, etc.

We ate at a quaint beach side café at the flea market and then marched back. By then it was a bit nicer and we did hit the beach for a while. Then we went and again, fed the gulls. I really love that! What a kick!

Monday 3/5

Monday–day 9–3/5/12
5:15
Well, got up to find the wind still howling. I feel sorry for the grounds folks who have to rake the seaweed...though last year they had a big tractor machine. May be too much for that, though.

There is a family (the Murphys) from Henderson, MN, whom we met and have chatted with a couple of times.....it is Mom/Dad and three young adult daughters....I feel so bad for them being here just for this week with this weather. They seem to be enjoying it anyway.   

7:00 pm
Well, the weather did not improve. It was cool and VERY windy all day. Uck...and I can handle one day, but as of now, the forecast calls for this all week.

We still went for a walk “out front”....stopped and had lunch on a nice sidewalk deli.
Then came back and went for massages! If you can’t be outside, what better place to be??
Now have to plan what to do inside for the next three days....boo hiss!
