Fourth of July was different for us this year. No apple pie, No fireworks (Other than a thunder and lighting shower) but we did get in our baseball (Ranger vs White Sox on MLBTV.COM.. Sad, the Rangers are tanking it right now and they lost.) We did have brats and burgers along with live Mexican music. We attended a ExPat function with our friends from the IWC (International Women's Club of Cancun).</div>

Dennis and I have been friends since birth. It was really great to have him come stay with us at our little Hammock & Tacos Casa. (In the states you have Bed & Breakfast), we have hammocks and tacos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We filled his days with our little bit of Paradise. We hope he enjoyed himself as much as we enjoyed having him and returns again. One week is not enough time to see everything but we tried.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am sure Dennis will need a vacation to rest up from his time spent in Mexico. I went along with him and I am still recuperating.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dennis took over 500 photos while he was here. I picked out a few to share. The Blog would be too long to include all 500.</div>

Weather was perfect and the greenery of the park was wonderful. <br />
They have a typical Mayan House there and there are many animals that reside in the park. We really didn't get to see many of the animals. There is a walking/jogging path around the park that is about a mile and a half. The park consists of thick jungle with trees and ferns everywhere.<br />

They were her two weeks, staying with us on both ends of their vacation. Spent the middle week (Sat to Sat) at the Royal Islander Resort. see www.royalresorts.com.<div>
The pictures below were taken by Bryce on the trip to Xcaret .. A magic place to see the local animals,ie: Monkeys, Crocodiles, Jaguars, Panthers, Butterflies, many different birds and domesticated animals like horses and cattle.</div>
<div>
Xcaret is a true marvel. With underground rivers to float, lagoons to snorkel and swim and a large aquarium with a Sea Turtle preserve. They have Mayan ruins to explore complete with a working Mayan village and the ancient ball game. The night show is a history of the region and national folk dancing and music.</div>
<div>
This is #1 on my list of attractions here on the Maya Rivera.</div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Becky and I are very fortunate that Lois and Anna both have the ability to come see us each year. They have access to air travel and no cost. Roger & Lois are retired from American Airlines and Kendall & Anna have a son that works for Delta Airlines. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was the second annual migration of the sisters. Our little Casa was a little crowded with six adults, two dogs in our little 1500 square foot home. The two bathrooms were in high gear and we only had one crisis when the bathroom drain system hit capacity and cause a small flood.</div>

New quilt was finished in time to be on the bed in the second guest room. Becky had worked long and hard on this quilt. She is working to make our little home cozy and comfortable for us and our guests.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We are all looking forward to next year,. The Sisters get to dodge some of the cold weather of Utah and we get to spend time with some of our favorite people. We plan to go exploring some more. There is so much history here that ties to the Book of Mormon. Next year we all hope to get to attend the temple session at Merida and then travel down to the state of Chiapas and visit more sites and see the beauty of that area.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is so much more than just beach and water sports.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We invite all of our friends to come and visit. We love to share this magic place with you. All you need is a passport and a airline ticket. We will pick you up at the airport and the adventure will begin.</div>

The white you see is not snow... It is coral based sand that never gets hot. You can walk on it anytime with your bare feet and never get burned. You can shovel it if you want, but not a real need.<br />

The color lasts and it NEVER dries up and turns that dull gray of winter... Blue skies are filled with fluffy clouds and sunshine.. The coldest temperature on record here was 57*.. Chilly, we had our winter coats on that day...<br />

Nice neighborhood with gated security. The common areas include a small park with basketball courts, volleyball and possible tennis. A children's playground with swings and climbing toys. We have a walking trail around the park to walk the dogs. The neighbors we have met are very friendly and most speak English. Some of the Church Members in the neighborhood have vowed to teach me Spanish whether I like it or not.... They are wonderful people.... I love the Mexican People...<br />

</tbody></table>Becky has a work area for laundry and crafts. This is the entry from thebackyard... Air conditioned... Where she was sculpting before was out in the jungle with the mosquito's and Habeno biting flies.. They call Becky "lunch".... No flies in the new house.. I plan to had a tub to one for Becky... She is a bubble bath person.. But, at least we have pressure in her bathroom here. She has had a year of trickle showers... <br />
More picture to come.... Master bedroom, #2 Guest room and two larger than we are use to bathroom...<br />

They installed air conditioning was the first thing in... The place will be cool....<br />
We purchased a small gas stove... Added a larger water heater ... We still need a few things...<br />
Living room set, Refrigerator, microwave, laundry and window covering ... We will get there.<br />
Today I got the car serviced (a six hour ordeal)... But, I do feel like I found a place that can service the car and get me the parts... That has been a big concern.<br />
While I was waiting, it was just around the corner from the new house so I went over there and hung out in air conditioned comfort while the car was being serviced. Did a little watering of the plants, just before it started to rain.. But, it filled the time.. Played a little on facebook ... all the time Becky and the dogs were patiently waiting at home... No much fun today.. But, I did take a couple more pictures at the new house..<br />

We have found a new house! We will be moving in August 1st. The pluses are lower cost per month by 1/3, all on one level (no more stairs) Two large bathrooms with room for a "soaky" tub for Becky. In a neighborhood with 6 other CUD Families (CUD = LDS)... It is not as new as our place at Jicaron, but we think is is solid and the landlord has agreed to make some changes we want. We will be closer to more shopping, the baseball stadium and tennis courts. Not as close to the gym, but we may change gym to one closer if it is a problem.<br />

They divided up the youth into MTC mission groups representing 8 different countries. They set up work stations to teach the children about the things that missionaries have to learn to go on their mission.</td></tr>

They truly love the gospel experience and are developing strong testimonies. What a pleasure to work with such wonderful children.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Total attendance was around two hundred children. We had twenty two in our English MTC. The leaders were mainly parents and they escorted the groups around the different work stations to learn different essentials to being a missionary. Everything from food preparation to time management. The children were paired up and then assign a district leader (parent). Our Zone leader for the English MTC was Joko Gardena, one of the High Counselors in the Stake. He is truly amazing with the children. He was good to us old duffers that couldn't speak Spanish and were trying to teach a scripture to the children too.<br />
<br />
We truly love the people here in our ward, stake and the country as well. They are just so genuine and loving... <br />
Americans could take a lesson on family values from these people. They truly love their families and in turn reach out and love and help others..</td></tr>

This was the selected site. Kin-Ha Cenote out off the Avenue of the Cenotes in Quintana Roo, Mexico. For you non Mayans, a cenotes is a underground well. The Yucatan Peninsula has no above ground rivers. It is honeycombed with many underground rivers with numerous access points which create caves with pools of fresh water. These cenotes are the source for all water for drinking, irrigation and anything else your can use water for. Many have been converted into swimming areas, scuba diving down thru the many caverns they create. Most are very primitive areas. There is no running water, showers, restrooms or other public facilities.. This is rural..<br />

Then we rented a scooter and took a drive around the island. The total trip is about 40 miles around the island.. The vistas were fantastic and the warm breeze and sea mist blew in our faces as we circled the island.<br />
Getting on a scooter for the first time in many years gave us proof that you never lose it, it just gets rusty.. After the 40 miles, we were managing the scooter with little threat to life and limb..<br />
You never forget... just get rusty...<br />
I think the next time we go we will get something that has four wheels..<br />
We found a magic little spot on the backside of the island called "Coconuts" Beach Bar & Grill... The place was packed but the food, drink and scenery was magnificent..<br />

A large display and storage tanks full of Sea Turtles. One of the missions of Xcaret is the preservation of the Sea Turtles and providing a place to allow the Sea Turtles to grow after the hatch to a size that will increase their chances of survival in the sea. Thousands of Sea Turtles are captured and raised here for release after they have grown to a diameter of about 14 inches.</div><br />

Xcaret is a must eye for any first time visitor.

The true highlight of the day is the night show.. Full of history, dance and music from ancient times to present of the Mexican & Mayan world. Plan to make it a day and a night...

We didn't do much walking around.. We mainly just drove around and looked from the car.. Sport's toe has Becky waiting on him hand and foot... I really think he is milking it now... When she is not around, he get along just fine with little distress... When she enters the room, he goes into total dependency.... Hey, I pick up his poop... That is all... Helping him pee and carrying him up and down stairs and getting up on the sofa and bed ... Either he will have to do it or wait for Becky.... What a life... These two dogs have....

Here they are honest about it ... They are here for a soft government job and you are here trying to make it hard by expecting us to do our job.

Being male, he wants to do it on three legs and it doesn't help to have a broken front left toe... He and Becky work it out... Sissy tries to console Sport.. She senses he is hurt and wants to help.<br />

Our current car is really a nice car...BUT! We can get parts for it, every simple service is a nightmare... We must have oil filters, air filters and any other item sent from the States. The law prohibits us from selling it here in Mexico. We will have to make a trip to the Border (2 day minimum) to sell it...<br />
But, we must have a car to get around here... So the plan is to make a run to the border..Sell the car to CARMAX, catch the bus back.... That will take a week.. Then hopefully find a Mexican car to fill our transportation needs.<br />
Here are a few pictures we took while shopping... They have a massive used car sell each weekend at the local soccer stadium.... Sellers bring their cars and buyers come to wander thru the cars and make a deal with the owners... Selection each week is hundreds of cars .... Quite a carnival atmosphere...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We are starting tennis lessons on Monday... We found a place that charges $30. per lesson... That is pesos, so it equates to just about two dollars and fifty cents USD.. Becky and I wants to get our game up to where we can play doubles with Nacho and Kathy and not embarrass them... They might even want to play with us once in a while.. We have no plans on every winning a game, but to at least make a lucky shot once in a while..</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also found a really nice health club in our neighborhood, it is as nice a Tree House is in Sandy.. It has Tennis, Squash (No racquetball, Darn!), swimming pool, weights, machines, pool, billiards, paint ball, dancing, spinning, aerobics, belly dancing, plates, yoga, soccer, cafe and lounge.. (Nice) ... We hope to find budget for it... It costs $1900 pesos per month...equates to $159 USD.. That's as much as food for a month! Sooo... I guess we are going on a diet...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Their names are Martha & Andres. Martha was originally from Canada and Andres is a native of the area. They have been in the area over 30 years and have a small travel agency ... <a href="http://www.puertomorelos.com/">http://www.puertomorelos.com/</a> . They have many different hobbies and activities they enjoy. They have accummulated a lot of property and also sponsor the Wednesday Poker games in their backyard.<br />

From the balcony off the Master Bedroom you can see the Caribbean Sea. The backyard is wonderful... Walled in for security and includes a BBQ and area that they use for parties and poker on Wednesday Nights!<br />

Don't want to get rained out for the poker games... Starts at 9pm and lasts until 2pm ... Table stakes are 600 pesos each player with a maximum of 600 additional pesos can be added by each player who choose to add at the break at 11pm.. Lots of food and drink ... Good time is had by all!<br />
