Traveling to Mexico (Tulum area)
October 19th
|
|
Today is our first full day at Stan's house, where we will be for a few days. Herman and I made a small excursion to Valladolid, Yucatan for lunch. Everyone else hung out at the house for some rest and relaxation. |
|
You have a weedeater, Mexico has a machete. He uses his left hand and stick to prop-up the weeds, then cuts it with his right hand. |
|
A small scooter group passed us up today. It's unusual to see very many bikes riding in groups for fun. It's mostly just transportation. |

The gentleman gave me permission to take this photo. The lady apparently did not. |

They jumped at the chance to sit on it as well |

A local walking parade marched by during our lunch. They come by every day during the month of October for the "Knights of October"? |

We can't have a day without rain |

Stop dreaming of living in a Mansion some day, you already do! (do you see the owner?) |

There's not much left over at the dinner table for the hogs |
