Living in Garden Bay and Guanajuato
We travelled to Garden Bay on February 22 and it was a very long day. We are both happy to be home, earlier than usual as Aimeé is anxious to renew her permanent resident card. As you can see from the weather forecast, it is still winter although signs of spring abound in the garden. As weather permits I will work on cleaning up the garden in preparation for the coming season.
We just returned from our beach break in Isla Mujeres Jan. 16-24. We had mixed weather with rain and wind, clouds and sun, and a fairly constant temperature of 27C. That suited us fine as Cancun can be unbearable hot with searing sunshine. The photo above shows both Playa Norte and Playa Centro, which are truly beautiful and excellent for swimming. Playa Norte is better as it doesn’t suffer from boat traffic and offers some shade most of the day.
I visited Isla Mujeres for a day in the early 80’s and don’t remember much, but I’m sure it has changed radically in 40 years. I would say a ruined paradise as the development attracts hoards of people, the prices are high, and the feel of the downtown core is very modern. The laid-back side of the island still exists but requires exploring to encounter. We stayed in a low-end Airbnb at the south end of el Centro, a great location with the necessary comforts.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, especially the natural beauty and excellent beaches.
