Super Bowl 55: Tom Brady Buccaneers vs Kanas City Chiefs. We ran a table of bets on First Fumble, First TD, First Coach's Challenge, etc and which team was what...I got last place, but still a fun time and a happy crowd at Lalo and Clau's.

Rough month bookended with fun. Out on a Yacht, surviving the flu, social distance parking, Puerto Aventuras, great food and a cover of Eric Clapton "Wonderful Tonight".

Want to rent a yacht? Ok...An afternoon motor out from Cancun to Isla Mujeres. Good fun, but I'm not sure I would recommend that type of tour exactly unless you like a bit pricy, a bit choppy, a bit of coronitas (200ml x24) and a bit short on time all day long. Some smiles, some snorkelling and some ceviche, oh and the alcohol we brought!

Here we go...Coming out of the Hotel Zone

I didn't know Pirates was filmed in Cancun?!

Hotel Zone

Snorkelling on the West side of Isla Mujeres

Hey Michelle

Foreshadowing...2023

Tasty El Negro Ceviche

North Beach of Island Mujeres

Going through the narrows of Isla Mujeres

Why go all the way to Cancun when you have this snorkeling right here...A little snorkelling at Coco Beach...when the water is clear.

Cuties

Do you have any $80 birthday cakes?

All the left over
Xmas cakes

A few happy days before the "Sickness"

So tasty

Hammmmmmmock!

Garrapinados, delicious

Cubete, bucket of 5 beers

And then the bad...strong flu...

40 seconds!!!

Not feeling too good

A combo of sick and
volley ball helped me lose 7kg.

Gotta love private health care
Discount price days

I hope no one wants to steal
my sample

That's what it would have cost at the
"International Clinic". All in I spent $1000 pesos

Good recovery food at
Trattorio

and at casa Brad

First time at Puerto Aventuras. A gated development about 20-30 years back when one man said "I need a place for my boat". It now hosts 22,000 people and a few marinas, but I wouldn't say it's for the common man.
