Happy One Week Anniversary!

It's amazing how many things can happen in one week!  

This time last week, I was just getting back to Cozumel.  Tho grateful for being here and able to cross on the ferry despite some significant wind and waves, I was tired from travel, overheated from walking with my suitcase from the ferry, despite a delightful stop to eat fresh fruit from a street vendor! and facing the task of unpacking and organizing my lovely apartment and fetching the first big grocery order.  

It did take a couple of days to settle in.  

But already, I've experienced so many lovely things!  Sope's at La Terazza de Mami- so delicious!  A couple of swims in the ocean - I saw these cool startfish like things! An early day bike ride today - yay me for mixing it up and getting going kinda early!  Catching up with Pat - always so nice to see her, my first Canadian friend on the island :)  Billy's BBQ- so delicious! And lotsa just enjoying the warm air on my skin. 

Today, to celebrate my 1st week here, I made eggs with green sauce, crumbly cheese, corn chips and lotsa pretty coloured sides. So delicious!

1) Toby bought these beautiful flowers on day 2 of our trip.  They smell so nice!

2 and 4) Playa Caletita is a beach where locals swim.  I'm so glad there are still a few places where locals can enjoy their own island.

3) Chilaquiles is a traditional breakfast that consists of corn chips and green sauce with a bit of crumbly cheese.  Historically a way to use leftovers from the last evening meal.  I like my corn chips on the side. A little like eating poutine with the fries on the side!

5) Toby came up with this brilliant idea!  Use my suitcase for our big grocery orders.  It works great to carry the heavy and bulky stuff the 500 m from the store to home!

6) I brought a hamac this year. So we could enjoy one of the local beaches more comfortably.  So far, it's working great!!
