Smug snowbird files another report from Mexico

There's disappointment here this morning, as the weather forecast calls for an evening of tough sledding. Too bad, because St. Paul Katie had planned to attend a game with friends in South Minneapolis tonight. But a flush beats a straight and weather trumps poker. At least we have this cheery note from Wayne and MaryAnn, vacationing in Mexico.
------------------------------------------
Good morning from the Lab Nah hotel in Playa del Carmen.
This morning I go down the block with laundry (same day $4), then breakfast and then to Walmart (Canada's 3rd largest employer) for a few essentials.
The beach will be the next destination for a couple hours.
Last evening after cocktail hour we walked a few blocks to an authentic Mexican restaurant again. We have a pretty food interpreter with us. Great meal and a Corona was $22 for both of us, including tip. Then we walked the beach and listened to some great music.
Got some photos and my iPad but have to learn how to load it up and fire them off. I may hold off on that because you guys may want to hop on a plane and come but there is no room at the Inn.
Gotta go, Mary Ann is up, the dog is at the sitter, and I need to check my lottery ticket.
