Alma Libre Bookstore is closing for the season. It is that time of year again. Today is our last day open, so stop in and say “so long”.
We will be packing up our truck and travel trailer soon and heading north to Calgary for the summer to go back to our day jobs in TV. Keep an eye out here as we will try to post updates from the road as we drive north through some amazing areas of Mexico.
We will miss our friends and our lives here in Puerto Morelos, but we will be back before you know it. Thank you for your support through out our season. Watch for Alma Libre Bookstore to open again in mid-November when we return with tons of new stock.
Hasta Pronto!
How about a nice relaxing day at the beach in Puerto Morelos. This beach babe is certainly taking it easy. Recently a unknown sand sculptor visited our beach and this was some of the work he left behind.
It’s amazing what a true artist can do with when they “play” in the sand.
And why not throw in a little crocodile humour. After all it is just another day at the beach. Ouch!
Casa de los Venados (House of the Deer) in Valladolid is not to be missed.
Owners John and Dorianne Venator have an amazing collection of Mexican art that they have hand picked from all over the country. The collection became so large that they needed to find the perfect space for it.
The couple spent eight and half years remodeling a colonial home in Valladolid to house the collection. The home is something to see on it’s own, but ad in the amazing art collection and you are in for a treat.
Although it is their private residence the couple opens their home to the public everyday at 10:00am for tours, in both English and Spanish, of the more than 3,000 pieces of the collection. In return for the tour they ask for a small donation which goes to a local charity.
Paper Mache Bride
We were recently in San Miguel de Allende at La Parroquia where there was a wedding taking place. This wedding was done with a ton of Mexican flare. As if a Mexican wedding isn’t spectacular enough, this bride and groom added larger than life paper mache figures and a large mariachi band to the festivities.
