It sprinkled on us off and on but we were back to the apartment by lunchtime and were only a little damp! We closed up all the windows and settled in for a quiet day of reading.
We found an English-speaking TV station and watched some re-runs of The Big Bang Theory, then watched a movie after dinner.
Today the sun came out, but the temperature stayed below 70 and it was breezy. We decided to walk to the west side of Tulum today and see what it was like. We passed a huge sports complex that had baseball diamonds, soccer fields, basketball court, and track. It was several blocks long and was well-maintained.
As we passed one house I noticed a sign that brought a chuckle – even in small towns in Mexico there are Tupperware ladies!
As we turned and headed back toward town I noticed this fellow walking in front of us carrying a chicken under his arm. Not sure if he just bought it or was off to sell it.
A little further down the street we encountered some road construction going on – and a HUGE road saw!
We wanted to find a lunch stop on our way back to the apartment and decided to try this little stand near the primary school we had spotted on one of our other walks.

We wanted to find a lunch stop on our way back to the apartment and decided to try this little stand near the primary school we had spotted on one of our other walks.We both had two tacos asados and drinks and the bill was only $62 pesos. ($4.75 USD) It was really good and very popular with the locals!
Back at the apartment we read, napped, chatted with Tyler on the computer, and called our Moms. We decided to see if we could find a different kind of cold medicine for Tobey, then we went to Camellos for dinner. Chris and Barbara (our apartment owners) said they have great seafood – and they did! I had the garlic shrimp and Tobey had the fried fish dinner. Before the meal, we were served chips, pico de gallo, and an interesting fish/tomato salsa. It was really yummy! Dinner with tip was $335 pesos – just over $25.

There was a crepes stand just outside the restaurant so we got a crepe with Nutella and caramel sauce for dessert ($25 pesos) on our way home. Another day in paradise!

We're glad you are having a good time. The trencher looks like a mean machine. I'm glad we have gone to the trenchless technology for big projects here. Enjoy your margaritas. Phil and Marcia
Tobey is finally feeling better, but No margaritas yet! I agree about the trencher - things are at a slower pace here.
Getting ready to watch the Broncos game!
