This should have been a very simple procedure ............ you see we have a palm tree plant by our door that had outgrown its pot. So my husband and I found the perfect new and bigger pot to transplant it into. You would figure that the rest would be fairly simple wouldn't you? I did - but no, my husband and son managed to make a 3 hour adventure out of re potting one plant. You see the palm apparently refused to come out of its old pot. The idea was to be very gentle to save the old pot for another plant ........
The boys slid a machete between the dirt and the pot all the way around - a tug - no movement. OK, try poking it out from the hole on the bottom of the pot - no movement. Make the hole at the bottom bigger and try to poke it our again - no movement. OK, hang it upside down off a 6 foot concrete wall and shake - no movement. Try to pound it out - still no movement. Finally - give up on saving the pot and throw it from the wall onto the gravel. Well, it made quite a hole in the gravel but the pot and plant are still intact.
My husband finally tells our son the golden words he had been hoping for - to go get the hammer. One swing and the pot becomes history and the palm tree is free!
It looks lovely in its new pot by our door - but it is a good thing the pot is large because I don't think the boys want to do that again very soon!
Long live the Mexican palm trees - and their pots!
Enjoy the Adventure, Suzanne

Mail delivery in Mexico
OK. Maybe some areas of Mexico are better at mail delivery than Playa del Carmen, but mail delivery here never ceases to amaze me. I have told family and friends to not bother trying to mail anything to us. I tease it is because the iguanas (who I say deliver the mail) are very slow. Really it is because I don't want to go into the following details:
- my mailing address is about 9 lines long but does not coincide with any recognizable street address.
- most areas do not even have street signs.
- very few people even attempt to put their house number on the wall - probably because they are not sure what it is.
- the mail we do get can usually be found somewhere in the yard having been tossed through the gate.
- It is usually not our mail.
Here is an amusing example: the bank statement I picked up today that was lying inside our yard had been folded up like origami! I say very creative - but again it was not our statement. I am eagerly awaiting the paper airplane.
I say save postage and buy a plane ticket and deliver our mail and presents in person! Aren't I thoughtful to save you the money on a stamp?

Finding the best in Mexico
I live every day looking for the best. It would not matter where I lived I would find all the good things and pretty well ignore anything else. Now, I live in Mexico and I tell you, there are plenty of good things..........
- tacos al pastor for 4 pesos ( 40 cents) each - really friendly people - a lot of bumpy roads that cause you to go slow and enjoy life - nice people who compliment you even when your Spanish is very bad - hot days so that you really enjoy a cold drink - lots of lights that are not well timed so you have time to appreciate your surroundings while stopped - late dinners so you have a good reason to go out and enjoy beautiful evenings - delicious coconut ice cream made from real coconuts ..................
What are the good things about where you live?

Top 10 things to do in Playa del Carmen, Mexico
The weekend is here again. So today I thought I would share the top 10 things a foreigner who has become a local likes to do on the weekend in Playa del Carmen, Mexico:
10. Sit on 5th Ave. and count the sunburned tourists. Look for the men wearing socks with sandals as they are obviously Canadian.
9. Go to the beach and eat shrimp tacos.
8. Visit with friends at the beach while eating shrimp tacos.
7. Go to the movies because they are air conditioned, have great seats, popcorn with hot sauce, and are cheap. Playa del Carmen has three different movie theaters now with about 19 viewing options.
6. Go swimming - in the ocean, a pool or a cenote. Why? Because it feels really good.
5. Go to the beach in the evening (when it is really quiet) and look out on the ocean in the moonlight and really remember why you came here.
4. Have a party - any reason is a reason for a party!
3. Go shopping just for fun - Playa has three big malls now.
2. Leave town because it is the weekend and visit Bacalar or Merida.
1. Still # one - Sleep in a hammock.
Enjoy the weekend!

Freebies in Mexico
I bought napkins today and got a free plastic sandwich container in the package. The other day I rented videos and got free toilet paper. I am always buying packages of tortillas with free scoops and other odd things in them.
My question is: Is this only in Mexico? Or does it happen in all countries and I am just out of touch?
I love it! I love getting free things with my purchase. Admittedly my house fills up with odd nic- nacs that I may never use, but I like my bonuses!
Tomorrow I am going back to the store so that I can buy the crackers that come with a T-shirt. Who can't use another t-shirt?

Coca Cola in Mexico
I notice Mexicans seem to drink a lot of Coke. It is not uncommon to see people here drinking coke for breakfast. It must be for the energy and sugar right? It is probably what helps keep them awake during the hot days.
I have learned not to ever throw a party in Mexico without having a lot of Coke on hand. It is also important to have rum and lots of ice too. After all it is not only Mexicans that like their Coke.
It is not my job to figure out why Mexicans seem to drink a lot of Coke, but it is important I immerse myself in the culture right? I guess I better try a Coke! Who wants to join me?

What does a clock really mean in Mexico?
The clock seems to have a different meaning in Canada than it does in Mexico. They may look the same and have the same numbers but they seem to have different meanings and even different levels of importance between the countries.
I was schooled never to be late. In fact, it is best to be early. In Mexico, time seems to be of less importance - late is OK, even expected. I think that in Mexico, time is often just used as a guidepost and you can give or take an hour easily. As you can imagine this really becomes hilarious when you combine my early with my Mexican friends late.
What are the pluses to this time discrepancy? Well, I can make new friends while waiting, I can get to eat two dinners, I can shop twice as much, I can get more coffee drinking done, or I can catch up on my reading.
I must say it felt very liberating as I learned to use this Mexican concept of time in my life. I became less stressed and less harried. I learned to relax and that usually nothing is an emergency. Ah the freedom! I do miss out on those double dinners these days but I think I have more fun with life and that I am definitely slimmer.
The challenge will be switching back when I am meeting another Canadian. No, it will be best to adapt them to this new and better way of thinking of time. I'll know whether they got it or not by how full they look when I arrive.

Living your dream in Mexico
What do you do when you have a dream that is so big and bold that to live it you need to move to another country?
The dream for my husband and I was to live in a tropical place with palm trees and beautiful beaches. Mexico beckoned to us invitingly. “Come play here,” is what we kept hearing.
Then our questions came: Will it work out? Can we really do it? Is it possible for us?
When I look back at our decision and what it took to make our dream happen - leaving friends and family, leaving our beautiful house, leaving the majority of our stuff behind, leaving a secure income, leaving the known to go live in the unknown (and doing it with kids)..........I can see that if we were not clear in our choice it would have been very, very hard to pursue this dream.We actually did do all that and more because we were very clear on what our dream was and we knew in our heart of hearts we could make it work - that there was something special for us here in Mexico.
It turns out our inner guidance guided us well. We didn't leave it all - we gained it all. The only thing that was important in Canada to us was our friends and family and we still have them (although many refuse to stay there and keep coming to visit us here). We now have even more friends in our lives and so many beautiful experiences. We are living an adventure and have given our children an experience they would have not otherwise had.
Is living this dream we chose all a bed of roses? Nope – no way. Of course we have our challenges. Who wouldn’t have some challenges living in a foreign country? Did I mention we have kids? Kids alone can be a challenge. I will say though that if part of your dream is adventure – you have a winner here. I love the adventure of living in and exploring another country. Anyway, who is going to focus on the challenges when you are busy living your dream?
I have learned we can choose where we want to live and we can choose our reality. One person’s fantasy is another’s reality.
If you feel a dream to live in another country in your heart - in your gut - if you can hear the call, there is a reason for that and it needs to be honored in some form. Sometimes you just have to take the first steps and see what happens. At least ask the questions you need to so that you can decide if this really is for you. Then if it really is your dream – figure out the way to live it! Maybe I’ll see you in Playa del Carmen soon.

The Real Mexico
The “Real Mexico” – what is that??? Really, how many ways are there to describe Mexico? Fifty people could go to the same city and I bet they would come away with 40 different experiences. What part of town did you go to? What did you look at? What did you focus on? Who did you meet? How did you treat the people you met? The variables go on and on.
Mexico is so diverse that you can buy raw chicken from the back of someone’s truck for lunch and then dine at a 5 star restaurant for dinner. You can be shopping in an open air market with raw meat hanging all around you at 10:00 and shopping in Sam’s Club or a big box grocery store by 11:00.
How you live in Mexico can be as varied as the people.
When we go to Merida for instance, we usually choose an upper end hotel like the Hyatt because it is different than the life we have chosen to live the rest of the time. Let me explain . . . . .
Our house is in an area of town called the Ejido; that is where many working class Mexicans live. We tried renting in the ritzy area of town, and enjoyed it for awhile, but we got tired of the tourists! We now have the perfect house for us with a beautiful private yard. But sometimes we want a change ......
My life in Mexico is almost as diverse as the country itself.
What would you like to experience to know the real Mexico? How much time do you have? Come for a visit - but be ready for anything.

Driving in Mexico
Driving in Mexico is different. Left hand turns from right hand lanes in some of the states and not others would only be the beginning of the story........
How about how the buses and taxi drivers drive? They are all crazy! I think that they think they are driving at a race track. Anyone who has lived or driven in Mexico is by now nodding knowingly.
Driving in Playa del Carmen is crazy and bumpy. Let me explain ..... I live in an area called the Ejido and we have some dirt roads that have become more a series of potholes than a road. Most people drive all over the road to try and avoid as many potholes as possible - not me! I say if we are going to have them, we might as well enjoy them. Some mornings I drive slow so I can feel the car dance and digest my breakfast at the same time. Sometimes I try my dad's fly over them method (don't tell my husband). Every day can be different and never boring.
I am especially amused by the fact they filled and compressed one fairly main road so there were no more potholes. I guess that was considered no fun because within days large trenches had been dug across the road in multiple places to slow people down. We are happily back to that pothole feeling.
Guess what else? Rainy season is coming. That means free swimming holes will be available on our road!
Would I change anything or complain? No way. Some people have to pay at Disney World for this kind of adventure.

Humor with pizza in Mexico
Yesterday afternoon I went to Sam's Club, here in Playa del Carmen to pick up some groceries and I figured while there I would order a deluxe pre-made pizza to bring home for an easy dinner.
Now here is the funny part - when I went to the counter to order I am told by the young man behind the counter that they only have 5 cheese pizza available today. No, I cannot have any other kind of pizza and I cannot add toppings because they only have 5 cheese pizza. Shall I mention they have a store full of toppings and they do make the pizzas there? No, this is simply another don't ask why in Mexico occasion.
Only in Mexico you say? Or only in Playa del Carmen you say? I chose not to order pizza and went with Chinese. Life is full of Adventure.

The Top 10 reasons to read: Only in Mexico, You Say?
Yes the rumor is true, I have written a book. In my quest to promote it, I consulted with my mastermind group and the following are our best reasons to buy and read it:
10. It works as a tortilla (tor-tee-ya) warmer. Put the tortillas between the pages and place in the sun. It will make your tortillas warm and keep them flat at the same time.
9. Sunlight will reflect well off of the white pages and onto your face for an even tan as you read.
8. It can double as a cover up if you fall asleep at the beach. Buy enough copies to cover all important parts.
7. If you find yourself in a Mexican immigration office you will need at least 6 hours of reading material.
6. You can make more friends in the immigration office by giving extra copies freely to others who did not plan ahead. Note: Do not sell or rent them in this situation as this may cause you to be ordered to leave the country prematurely as you may be doing work without permission.
5. In case you are traveling in your RV and your parking spot is not level, it can be used as a leveler. Maybe buy 10 copies as you never know how many you may need.
4. Carry it as identification. You will now be part of the “Mexico Adventurers Club”. This club is of course, most knowledgeable on the ins and outs of traveling Mexico.
3. It may not save you from driving around in circles like a crazy person while you are touring Mexico, but if you do still get lost, you can take comfort in knowing others have been lost before you and lived to tell about it. Bad news is they may still be driving around.
2. In case you are traveling in Mexico and you find yourself in a washroom without toilet paper.
1. Because everybody is reading it and you want to know what they are laughing about.

Water fun in Mexico
Sunday my husband and I went out on a catamaran. We played all day in the beautiful blue Caribbean water off the coast of the Riviera Maya. I have a deeper appreciation everyday of my new holiday-land of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
Now for the humorous side? I of course showered and washed my hair before we left because I wanted to look nice on the boat. After a day of sun and salt water I of course had to come home and shower and wash my hair again. Ah, the challenges of life in paradise. At least I am always very clean.
