Palapa Life is Good!!



We are once again enjoying the good life in our wonderful palapa! We are getting the cabinets installed by Mr. Marcos from Playa who did a fantastic job. Freddie poured concrete runways for the big coach to back down leading into the palapa and they worked just fine. We have to literally wrap this coach around the big poles so he had a slight slope put onto one of the runways and it helped keep the upper canopy frames off of the poles.
It is so hot! It rained all weekend and today it steamed! Felt like a lobster in a pot. Thank goodness for the fans and slight breeze. Some construction still going on. I feel sorry for these good men who have to work in this heat hauling gravel, digging holes, mixing cement, etc. But I have yet to hear one complain. Pop moved some rocks for me and did a number on his back. He laid around for a couple of days and took some muscle relaxers and is doing much better. The flamboyan trees are in full bloom. They are the mimosa looking trees that have huge cascading blooms of fiery red blossums. So beautiful. I hope to get one for the back yard by the jungle. The little aguti comes out each evening for the fruit I leave for him. Lots of big iguanas coming around and chomping any blooming flower they can find. Our boat sprang a leak and have ordered one to replace it. Supposed to come in to Cancun and be delivered to us. Hope it gets here soon.
Life is good. children and grands coming in July. Yippee!!
