So far

Well, it was the plane trip from hell. AFter telling Annie my plane is on time, we get bumped to a 40 minute delay that after we were on the tarmac, there was a 40 minute delay for some mechanical problem and then when we get to Cancun, there are planes stacked up like crazy because the weather is so bad (for Cancun) so instead of landing at 220 like i was supposed to, I get there about 440 and by the time I determine her plane was also late and she must have gone on, thinking I must have gone on, I take the bus to Playa and get there about 8, at which time she was apoplectic, thinking I had been murdered or on a downed plane. She had taken a taxi from the airport for $30 but my bus was only $9 US so as it turns out we are reunited and go to Ula Gula for dinner and 3 rapid glasses of wine and buy a bottle of wine at a super mini which we can only drink one glass of and then we crash as it has been a very disorienting day.


Yesterday we wake to cloudiness but way warmer temps so we get some coffee and breakfast and hit the beach around 10 where it turns out to be pretty sunny but about 2 it clouds up like crazy and is windy and chilly (like maybe 60) so we go up to town for a little something to eat at Las Brisas (arrachera fajitas) and then retire to our room as it is now very windy and very chilly and we read until 8 when we go to Yaxche where there are no inside tables available so we eat at Media Luna which is at least upstairs and out of the wind and have tomato soup with a giant pile of guacamole in it and split a Caesar salad and their excellent bread and no bevs and go back to the room and read until we go to sleep. But we see on the way home the stars are out.


Today the sky is sparkling blue, no clouds at 730 am so we get coffee and have breakfast at Tropical and hit the beach but alas now at 3 pm it has become so windy and chilly we can´t even hang at the bar on the beach so have come to internet. Although we have already had 4 drinks and so I wasn´t sure I could type. So far so good.


Tomorrow we are expecting it to be spectacular.


Still, it looks like this. So not so much like at home (picture from last year).



I think we need a bottle of whiskey.

This hurts but rest assured it is way better than here.
