Isla Mujeres 2014 ~~ Day 24

Isla Mujeres 2014

Day 24 ~~ Sunday Mar. 2

"Sun Day Fun Day!"


Sunshine on Sunday….makes sense!


Off bright and early to the ferry…..sad to see our amigos leave…don't go!!!


I think they are sadder than we are, but they are hiding the tears behind the smiles...


Adios amigos….see you next year!


The 'new and improved' ferry terminal….sigh….


At least this view is still looking like Isla….


Since we're up bright and early, we are off to the market to get the Sunday treat of cochinita pibil….there's a big line-up….


We get 2 tortas…..they look so good, but we're saving them for lunch…off for a little zoom zoom...



I love the quiet empty streets early in the morning...



Apparently chin straps are optional….I hate wearing mine too!


Home to get ready for the beach….I can't wait….surely this can be breakfast food too….just a bite or two….or maybe three……nom nom nom!  So delicious!


Well, now that we ate lunch for breakfast, we have less to carry to the beach!  And there it is, all ready and waiting, just for us!


Vince makes friends with some other Canucks…..playing a game of tossing some little balls into a pail buried in the sand. Harder than you would think….a lot of rim shots….I think the amount of cervezas being consumed had something to do with the lack of aim!


This is how we feel….Every Day….



We've been invited to Casa Flores for sunset tonight….a beautiful home mid-island, owned by our amigos Brenda and Brian.  Everyone brought delicious snacks and we gather on the rooftop to enjoy the amazing views….


Inland...


Towards the west…perfect!

The perfect private pool area...



This beautiful home is for rent…..check out all the photos here….

Faith and John are leaving tonight and dash off to pack up the last of their things.  We hop on our scooter and head to the ferry to see them off.  Unfortunately we missed them but still enjoyed the pretty blue lights of the ferry….


We wander up Medina….a poster announcing the start of Carnaval...


Night palms by the Posada beach...


We need a little snack…..I hear some sushi calling my name….off to Asia Caribe...


How come an ice cold bottle of coke tastes sooo amazing on Isla?!


One of our favourite places to eat…..


Entertainment!


Can't walk past this place without getting my usual….tiramisu in a waffle cone…delish!


And then it's off to see the crowds gathered at the zocalo, enjoying music and dancing….Let the party begin!
