Thanksgiving 2010 In Paradise

We enjoyed a very nice day here in Cancun. Starting off in the morning with two sets of tennis... This will be replacing turkey bowl at the park in the snow and cold of Utah with the local guys... I will miss the guys, but
Tennis will be with the local amigos here in Cancun... Not cold and wet!

Andres, Our host and coordinator! Andres and wife have a small Travel Agency and manage properties in Puerto Morelos and Can Cun!

 Victor, local Artist (He paints better than he plays tennis)...Thank goodness!

 This ain't Wimbledon ... But it is a nice court out in the jungle. It is owned by a small resort that allows Andres & Friends access in exchange for maintenance and up keep.. It is lighted for night play.

Andres is the BEST tennis player, at least in Puerto Morelos!

Becky, Kathy and Kris were all doing the cooking thing... Each at their own home, I don't know where we are going to put all the food.. Each family of two will have a large turkey to dispose of..

After tennis, the guys all did their own thing whether that be watch NFL football or the Championship series of the Pro Tennis Tour from London. It was all good!

 Dinner was wonderful! London recipes, American Traditions and Cancun location! It doesn't get any better than that!

Who gave Nacho a sharp object? This man is dangerous with a Tennis Racket ... Sharp knife could be fatal! And it was for this bird!

 Kathy & Nacho's garden is coming along nicely! Beautiful plants and Nacho's Habanero Peppers! (They are really HOT!!!) ...

Kathy & Nacho's house is really coming along nicely too! They have made it very cozy and comfortable... It was already warm....

They have a head start on ours, but the little house is coming along nicely over on our street too! We added some vanities to the bathrooms and the last of the light fixtures and a fan to the patio..  New grass in the front yard. What we saved on not having to get a snow blower, we put into the little house.

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..

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...
