Isla Mujeres 2014

Day 22 ~~ Friday  Feb.28

"Adios to amigos….and uhoh... no more notes"


Up early of course…..cloudy skies greet us though…

We're on a mission….off to the ferry bright and early.  Dan and Steph are leaving today, on the 630am ferry.  Somehow it's a little less painful to leave on a cloudy day…even Isla is sad that they are leaving!

The walk of tears….but they'll be back again soon!  In fact, as I write this, they are enjoying another month-long holiday on Isla!   So, don't feel too badly for them!

The new ferry terminal….sigh….so sterile and drab looking on an island that was voted 'most colourful'!

Adios Dan and Steph…see you in February!

One last wave...

The ocean is like glass this morning!

So, this is the point where my notes end….not sure why I stopped as it was always my morning routine while I watched the sunrise.  Maybe I just decided to be more 'in the moment' and not worry about recording anything!  Or maybe, after 3 weeks, I finally really got absorbed into the real Isla world and knew that notes weren't important…feelings and experiences were.  No matter….photos tell the story anyway!

 We take an early morning walk….to the area south of the malecon…where it used to be before Wilma destroyed it in 2005….

Looks like someone is trying to create a bonsai….

Stairway to heaven?….

The skies start to clear by the time we walk to centro…..Carnival begins today and practice is in full force...

The little fellow was on a mission!….

We head back home after getting a few groceries from Super Express, have some brekkies and then decide on a zoom zoom.  

Keeping Isla beautiful!

The scenic area of Punta Sur...

Garrafon view...

Pretty fancy golf cart!

And once we're home again, move views to enjoy...

Time for lunch….delicious sandwich made with my leftover beef kebabs from Olivia….perfect!

Keith and Elisa join us for some sunset snacks…..

With a nice vino tinto in hand, we sit back to enjoy the show...

Keith and Elisa dash off to have dinner with Keith's parents.  We linger for a while and when we reach centro, Carnival fun has begun!

Not sure what we had for dinner….no notes and no photos!….but I know what we had for dessert!….Morgan's margaritas…yum yum yum!  And look, I'm not the oddball…someone else joined me in strawberry land!
