Photos Nov, 16, 2008

Our housekeeper's adorable daughter, Carla. She keeps asking when she can come to our home and visit the dogs.

My mom, me, Rickey and Mitzi at Punta Roca, Puerto Adventuras. On the right is a pool filled with ocean water that has a water feed and drain to keep fresh water moving. There are even lounge chairs made from rock that sit just below the water so you can relax and stay cool.

Allan and his new mate, an iguana he met in Cozumel.

Native pottery on the way to Coba.

A butterfly at the butterfly sanctuary in XCaret.

Mitzi, our beloved companion. She was rescued from a shelter and has just simply been a blessing and a joy!

Janet Lowe and me at XCaret, an aquatic and cultural theme park. We're here for Day of the Dead Celebrations. Janet and her husband, Jim, are from Philadelphia and have been living in Playa for almost 2 years

Allan poses in front of some parrots at the bird sanctuary in Playacar.

Me at Cenote Azul. Cenotes are natural springs - many are below ground - and in some you can reach by climbing 50 foot ladders down to swim in illuminated pools connected via underground rivers. This centote is above ground though it does have an access underwater to reach the underground river network. Sport some scuba gear and a flashlight to check out the hidden wonders. As in most Cenotes, this one is filled with colorful fish. Swim at your heart's content and escape the heat and crowds of Playa.

Me at the top of the pyramid of the Maya ruins of Coba, about 2 hours from Playa. I climbed the precipitous stairs to reach this sumit and barely made it to the top.
