A house like a Conch. Overlooking the sea. Well o.k. I did scarf up some Cervice which tastes like sheet rubber in Garlic. It takes 30 years for the shell to grow. Aha.
Morning in Mahawel. There is a recording but it takes up half a CD. The colours did not travel well onto this media.
Mahawel on a Sunday, a weekly Pig gets it in the neck.

The lizards range from two to three feet long. They have three speeds,

I am a rock, I am a rock but shibbling off in a nonchalant manner, & turbo lizard on a mission, @ which point the legs go like oars & the front ones just bounce the head off the ground.

Tulum, one of the last cities built.
Not supposed to get closer, is sacred well.
Biggest Lizard of them all. About a metre. On the Isle of Wight we have cute furry Rabbits on the Cliff tops. Here they have ginormous Lizards. Still they must eat cockroaches so I like them.
More Tulum
Main building
Mayans might have been building an 18-30 club here.
Lots of carvings on this one
I have theory about Mayan culture & where it went, more later.
Inside the sacred well. Cavity for someone to boom forth statements to cowering & gullible listeners. Now we are more advanced than that, we have telly.
Still @ Tulum
Get yore Grapes here, or Ice Cream if you want to be ill.
To knock down a coconut by the sea, and no-one say "Oi!".
Going down towards the Cabanas.

Where bongos played in the evening as lithe Spanish ladies danced & sang, or trilled along with the flute. About as close to Paradise as it gets. Recording was made but takes up half a CD.

The thing about Pelican

is the beak holds

more than the belly can

The water is warm & wonderful
Foodie footnote: Limones Avocado. Beyond the wildest imaginings of the Waitrose buying department.

Small green lizard lounging,

chilling in the furnace of the midday Sun.

A tiny portion of a sky filling sunset.
Like trying to describe an Elephant from the tail. The breeze is warm, the sand more than perfect, it does not get hot like anywhere else. Don't ask me why.
Coconut husks make a great fire.
Pole of the bungee jumpers. A past-time as stupid as shier costumes. Of which I could not be bothered to photograph.
Four kids with M-16s. Thanks to Uncle Sam. Hey they really do stop Colombian Drugs coming up the beaches. Muhahahahah.
Me in Hammock with "Familiar" sized beer. View cluttered by personnel carrier and many people with Guns. Only a small hole in the end of each but could be a big hole in ones social life. Still the Marines enjoy their job.

The lip of a Cenote or Sacred Well, seen from the inside.
Mexican Bike.
In context engineering. Very taken by this.
This Italian woman's husband works @ Ferrer Rocher. My sister will be impressed even though the advert is deep cheeze.
This parrot was not chewing a Chilli while standing on one leg. Some Mexican has that film, together with the camera. Meanwhile this was taken from the Mahawel Cafe.
