Isla Mujeres 2015 ~~ Day 24

Day 24

Sunrise at 7:11AM today….sitting in my happy spot taking it all in….

Hearty breakfast day….this has become a bad habit but it’s such a yummy way to start the day.  Besides, we need sustenance for all the hard work we do every day…haha!

I’m in charge of clean up while Vince dashes off to Pelicanos to pick up our zoom zoom….all shiny and new!

Off we go…down the west side stopping in at one of our favourite spots, Capitán Dulché….

I love coming here just to enjoy the quiet vibe and greenery.  The staff is wonderful and the place is just immaculate.  Excellent food too.  Plus they have live music…a couple of nice guitar players when we were there.  Can’t say enough good things about it!  Here’s a little tour…

 

After our nice little rest, we get back on ‘Red’ and zoom down to Punta Sur area, stopping to take in the view of the unreal colours near Garrafon….

This view never gets old…

There’s a kite flying overhead…

Heading up the east side road…..yes, these are ‘ruins’, but not ancient Mayan ruins…simply someone who started building and never finished…still scenic….

He loves his zoom zoom….many thanks to Vince’s mom who gave us the scooter rental as a holiday gift!

Time for a walk on the beach…

By mid afternoon we are home again, and venture the few steps to relaxation on our balcony.  The end to a perfect day as the sun dips into the sea…

Since we have Red now, we can venture out for dinners…Off to La Bruja, but they are closed.  Next try, Daisy & Raul…totally full.  Looked for Kash Keken Chuc’s new take out place but don’t think it’s open at night.   Last try, Basto’s…closed.  Well phooey!  We end up going to Chedraui and picking up some nice ham, cheese, avocado and fresh buns.

We eat our subs while watching the latest Survivor show.  Finish it off with maple walnut ice cream….delicious!

Day 26 ~~ Tuesday March 4

"Just Another Busy Fun Day Zooming Around La Isla!"


So, lots of photos in this one and it's best to let them show how busy and fun our day was.

Of course, the only way to start the day is with the sun….which I can almost see right from my pillow…

But of course, I tiptoe out to my usual spot on the sunrise balcony to really enjoy the view.  After all there are only a few of these left to savour….

It looks like it's going to be a beautiful day, so maybe we should do a zoom zoom and enjoy all that Isla has to offer….

First stop is one of my favourites that I just have to see at least once every holiday.  I first started calling it the 'Crayola House' way back in ~2005.  Some people call it the crayon house.  Either way, it's a colourful and unique home...

If you don't know the story of who the owner is, you can read about 'Lenny V' HERE--Scroll down to Personal Life

Along the east coast, we just have to stop the scooter to enjoy the views…such a perfect day with so many hues of blues….

This is the cemetery mid-island…

Stopping in to enjoy the views near Garrafon, a zip liner zooms past!….

Kitties everywhere on Isla!

Up the west side  where we stop in to enjoy some quiet solitude at Capitan Dulche….read more about it Here--Capitan Dulche

The birds had every post occupied…but then came 1 more, which caused a flurry of activity.  It was like watching musical chairs as some got bumped off and had to find a new perch.

And then things got settled and quiet again...

We  say adios to Dulche and then head inland to the Women's Bead Co-op...

We bought a few very nice bracelets….we ended up going back for more a few days later!

We pick up a few supplies from Chedraui and make our way back home to enjoy more awesome views...

Vince says he needs to restock the cerveza supply so off he goes to centro…..but he surprises me with a pretty bouquet of flowers…brownie points galore!

Just what we needed for the coffee table….

Of course he did get his cerveza too!...

Time for some snacks!

And our favourite wine brought from home…while we enjoy the sunset….

And once the sun has set and our tummies are growling once again, we make our way to centro and decide on Abuelos for dinner….margarita time!

I had a grilled fish fillet….

Vince had a breaded fish fillet….not sure if it was the Mexican style….it was good..

And they surprised us with a complimentary flan dessert which was delicious!

We also received a little ceramic mug….great staff and great food!

We bump into Frank at Morgan's….more margaritas!  Photobomb time!

 Really fun great staff here too!

And then it's off to the zocalo where we bump into more friends celebrating carnival..

And then Frank gets his groove on…with a 'lady'…..

Big crowd tonight for Fat Tuesday….

The party lights reflect on the Church….

Javier and his 'La Bande Sin Nombre' perform…
