Beach Life

Well, posts have been non-existant since we have had no internet connection for a while. We moved from Merida to the beach of Chelem in May.
The reason?  We kept driving out to visit friends in Chelem and Chuburna. So, we decided to make the move to the beach. We love the beach and are really beach people.  We still drive into Merida for major shopping though.
We are two blocks from the Gulf of Mexico here in Chelem, which is a few miles up the beach from the city of Progreso. The cruise ships put in at Progreso three times a week. We can hear the horns at 4pm each day to let passengers know that they need to get back to the ship for departure at 5pm. :)

I may have to have a disclaimer from the title of my blog now to say I really don't live there anymore! lol

We have met several people out here that have also decided Mexico is the place to live. We enjoy getting together for coffee, a meal, and trips to town.
The house we are renting has two bedrooms, one bath, a screen porch on front and back. We are so enjoying the screen porches!! We can sit out in the early AM and have our organic Coffee from Chiapas Rainforest and watch hummingbirds and listen to birds, dogs, and other creatures. (Ha, the dogs are always barking- same as home)
I will try to post more often now that we have high speed internet at the beach (no small miracle !!) Will post about that later. Here's the view at sunset from our beach house:
