Today we took the ferry near where we are camped to Isla Mujeres (pronounced Moo-Hair-Az). The name means Island of Women so named by the Spaniards after seeing Mayan stone figures that looked like women. This island is only about 8 Km from Cancun and a popular destination for tourists such as ourselves. It is only 3/4 mile wide and 4.5 miles long. The town is located on the south end with lots of shops, restaurants, and hotels. Popular modes of transportation are 4-person golf carts or motor scooters. The beaches are soft, white sand and the snorkeling is supposed to be really good. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate -- it was sunny but pretty cool -- only 71. Too cool for me to put on a swim suit and go into the water.
So we wondered around town for a while, had a great lunch on the beach and then shared a golf cart with another couple and explored the rest of the island.

It was 68 here today & we played golf. Had a good time & won $2. Becky & Terri were on my team. We outplayed Gail, Sherry & Sue P. Laughed all afternoon!!! Take care!
I like the pictures that you include with your blog. The map helps me to follow along on your adventure.
Just think, you are writing a book for Luka to read when he is old enough.
We went to the Boys & Girls Auction on Friday evening. You'll never guess what the last items on the auction block were. Brooms. It made us miss you both.
Later,
Mickey
