DAY 8 ~ THURSDAY We woke up and got ready for the day. I want to show you some of the reasons why ... Let's take a walk ... We walked to the Hot Baking Company for breakfast ... Nothing like eating your breakfast outside in December! Sooo good ... Then we took a walk down 5th Avenue, and found the OJ guy ... He'll cut and squeeze the oranges ... Nothing tastes better in the morning than fresh squeezed orange juice ... YUM! A lot of people are getting their breakfast from the carts ... The policia use little electric cars, they plug 'em in to recharge ... cute, huh? Marionettes for sale ... I was hoping this truck belonged to mi amigo, Todd, but I couldn't find him ... Susan requested a picture of Norb in a hat, and he obliged ... ONCE, Just for you, Susan ... The pier for the ferry to Cozumel ... The beach next to the pier ... Drugs are freely available without a prescription ... A tequila store on 5th Avenue ... I love the colors of the houses, you don't see lime green houses in Pittsburgh, I don't know why, because I like it ... You can buy a taco from a guy in a VW van ... I love this little church right on 5th Avenue ... We stopped in a few times during our trip, many prayers said, and thanks given that with all of his medical problems this year, Norb was able to make this trip ... I think it's so beautiful, you can see the Caribbean ... We better go back to the laundry, and pick up our clothes. We walked to the laundry, but then grabbed a taxi back to the Playa Palms. Our room was already cleaned ... Out to the beach for some sunning ... Look who I found wandering on the beach ... We ordered chicken quesadillas from the beach club next door ... and just enjoyed the rest of the afternoon, we may have taken a nap ... Soon it was time to shower and dress for dinner, where should we go? BABE'S!!! Mojitos, crab rolls ... Norb had Swedish meatballs, and I had Pad Thai noodles ... We love Babe's Noodle Bar! After walking around for a while it was time to go back to the hotel. Tomorrow ... another beach day!
You are the best!! Can't tell you how much I love your reports and your pictures! Color me green with envy! Thanks again, you've been making my evenings here in cold Chicago a little more bearable.
Always lovin' your trip reports... They make you feel like you are almost there lol.. In the one beach pic, is that Cozumel across the way???
Magnificent! I agree, your reports are always fantastic. I suppose we shouldn't expect anything less with your title. HeeHee! Wishing you and Norb many wishes of good health this year so that we may continue enjoying these reports. Also Dawn & I do enjoy all of the photos, especially the ones of you and Norb. You guys always seem so happy! I wonder why? :lol:
