Mexico Memories

I have to share this beautiful picture with you today.

We have family that came to visit us in Playa del Carmen this last Christmas and one of the gifts we gave them were two hand painted (right here in Mexico) margarita glasses.
They just sent us a picture that let us know they not only arrived unbroken but they are being enjoyed in less than tropical conditions. (Just click on the picture to enlarge it).

What can I say? . . . . May the memories of tropical Mexico be with you as you enjoy your margaritas.

Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Mexico pictures on Facebook

Will wonders never cease? I decided to try something new this year and I have now joined the social networking site Facebook. I wanted to tell you this because I am now posting beautiful pictures on it that we have taken from all over Mexico. Places like Tulum, Morelia, Playa del Carmen, Bacalar, Puerto Vallarta, San Miguel de Allende, and Merida for a few . . . . . . I am also posting pictures of various ruins.

If you are not familiar with it, you can go to http://www.facebook.com/. We can become friends if you look me up by Suzanne Marie Bandick. You need to become a member yourself but there is no cost and what you do with your membership is up to you. When you friend me, please let me know you came from my blog. Thanks!

The pictures we took in Mexico are found on a page I created called Living in Mexico. You can access this page by going to my profile and clicking the info tab, the link to the Mexico page is on the bottom. Enjoy! You can sign up to be a fan of the page.

Check back to the page often as I am just starting to load Mexico pictures and play with everything Facebook has to offer.

It is kind of fun so maybe I’ll try more new stuff this year. Stay tuned.

Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Bacalar, Mexico is a great weekend getaway!

This last weekend we spent in Bacalar, Mexico as we had some friends who wanted to see our development there. For me, I will use any excuse to go to Bacalar simply because it is peaceful and beautiful. It is a short 3 hour trip from Playa del Carmen so it was easy to leave Saturday morning, have breakfast in Felipe Carrillo Puerto (half way) than be in Bacalar by about 12:30.

We spent the night in our usual lovely hideaway on Bacalar lagoon (that must remain nameless so it does not get all booked up) and then headed home to Playa del Carmen on Sunday afternoon.

We were surprised to find two awesome events happening Saturday night in this quiet little town. We had an artisan show at Casita Carolina’s as well as Carnival happening in the main square! Who needs sleep on the weekend? We even found time to play for awhile at Cenote Azul.

The ride home was another adventure and took a little while longer as we chose to stop at almost every roadside stand. We bought fresh mandarin juice, mini bananas fresh off the tree, a huge sack of juice oranges (because the vendor insisted on cutting each of us an orange to try and they were excellent), some fresh nuts, two pineapples, some banana bread from one of the ladies at a speed bump and some various arts and crafts. We arrived home not only at peace but full!

It was another great weekend in paradise! Maybe next time you can join us.

Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Watching the Super Bowl in Mexico

Guess where I watched the Super Bowl last weekend?

My family and I spent the day at the all inclusive Bahia Principe Resort just south of Tulum. We got a dynamite rate because our son plays American football and they are a team supporter.

So Shawn and I chilled on hammocks by the ocean in the morning, had some lunch, and then lounged by the pool until game time. I thought of you all as I know many of you have cold and snow right now. But what could I do?

When Super Bowl game time came we headed to the lounge and met up with our son to watch the action on their huge screen. The Bahia Principe provided drinks, popcorn, hot dogs and hamburgers in the lounge so we never had to miss any action. What more could a football fan ask for?

Interestingly the commentary for the game was in English, but they gave us Mexican commercials so I missed the big US Super Bowl ads! Not to worry, I viewed most of them yesterday on the internet. Who would think I would want to purposefully watch ads? I know – but these are Super Bowl ads!

Chillin on the beach for Super Bowl - Yep, on the whole life in Mexico can be really good.

Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne
