a peek at paradise, gringo dave style

So today Doug & I spent the day with Gringo Dave, whom you all may remember as the wobbly rodney dangerfield impersonator that runs the local juke joint at the end of the marina. He took us for a drive to his 'weekend getaway' at the south end of the state to show us his new venture and boy were we blown away... and that's not even sarcasm there. It was the most incredibly gorgeous lake - all the bright shades of aquamarine, tourquoise and seafoam green that should be punishable offenses in prom/bridesmaid dresses are surprisingly breathtaking in real life waterscape. It was like the colours of Tulum water on steroids. We'll have to tell you all about the rest of that adventure (..and yes of course we have pictures!) including the arabian house & the swift current noodle drift when we return in just a couple of days.

Sandra & Marie made an eventful trip to WalMart and the new Playa del Carmen grocery store, where it took them 45 minutes and security clearance to buy a bottle of wine & 6 diet cokes. Again, a story that needs to be told with pantomime for full effect so make sure you ask for that story at Easter.

It finally rained tonight. I think we counted 15 drops.

do you think the next family will notice me hanging around through their month if I'm really quiet?
