Rain!

On Saturday we woke up to clouds which was so weird yet wonderful. It’s been perfectly sunny since we got to Mexico 2 months ago.

It rained really hard which cooled everything off. It I’d going to get hot again but clouds and double vs triple digits was heavenly.

Chicago Pizza…or not

On Friday we saw this restaurant on our early morning walk. We were really excited until we read reviews. Locals gave it good reviews. Americans outside Chicago gave it mediocre reviews. Chicagoans said it was terrible.

We went to an Italian restaurant instead which was delicious. Each table had its own personal coat rack which I appreciate.

It had a great atmosphere but there was the ubiquitous macrame wall hanging. This must be a Yucatan thing because we see then all over.

If only I had kept up my macrame skills past third grade.

Hot hot wind

Every day we say to each other, “It’s hot but not worse than Panama. On Tuesday we didn’t say that.

We swam in the morning which was great. I tried to go out in the afternoon but didn’t make it past opening the patio door. With the heat index it was 109.

At around 7pm I ventured outside. I could see palm trees blowing so thought the wind would cool things down. It didn’t.

May is the worst month here, so we are making plans to escape the heat for the last part of May.

Ice water and cubes

On Saturday we swam and sat down by the pool.

Besides the pool, this Airbnb has a great feature no other one has had, water from the fridge.

The water still comes in these huge bottles that get delivered weekly. All building have then. Most have pump on the top.

This place has a system where you hook it up under the kitchen sink and a tube ruins it to the fridge.

Just as wonderful, an ice maker. We travel with our own ice trays because no other airbnb has had ice and few have had trays.

Pool Day

On Friday Jeff and I swim. The pool at our Airbnb is fantastic. Even though it was really hot outside the water was cool.

After a bunch of laps I tragedia my goggles for my sun hat.

Dying off even in the shade took about ten minutes.
