Tuesday, 7 February 2023: Merida Airport

Abraham continues to make our gardens grand.  

Hugo and his crew continue to build our garage.

Meanwhile...Julie returned after a long weekend with Mali in San Francisco.  Mali was a bit stronger than she had been at Christmas and Julie reported that they’d had a good trip.  Julie has quite settled in to Celestun.  From the beginning she said she stay probably until May.  She was looking for an apartment in town for after we leave in March and one came available in February.  So, Julie moved out to be on her own and close to centro.  She was gone for about four days and she came back.  She thought her new apartment had bed bugs as she had squillions on bites that itch like crazy.  Admittedly, I wasn’t excited about the idea of brining bed bugs into our home so we dropped all Julie’s clothes off at the lavandaria when I helped her move back home.  Julie has had stomach issues since before she went to San Francisco.  She eats in lots of places that I’d forego and she eats lots of foods that I choose to pass.  Both Justin and I have had a bout or two with “the touristas” and we do pretty much everything we can do do avoid having it again.    Anyway, Julie is miserable.  The drama level is high.  And, she doesn't even know the bullet she dodged since her apartment in Celestún was owned by Gary ad Wendy.  No, they did not return her money.  

To add to this drama, we haven’t had water in three days.  A transformer went out at the cenote so the entire village is out.  Aargh!!!

Steph didn’t have a great time…Julie is having a melt down… at least Carole knows what she is getting into when she arrives.

And, today she arrived!  Surprisingly, ok, not surprisingly, her flight from Toronto was delayed but that gave us time for more errands.
Back in Celestun all was well…still no water, but all is well.
