We left for Puerto Morelos at 9:45 this morning. There was no problem getting a seat even though we were flying standby. This was the first day for direct flights from Moncton. We arrived at our destination 50 minutes ahead of time. Got through customs quickly then went out to find the bus line to take us to Puerto Morelos. There were a few other stops, so we got dropped off around 2:30. We went into the grocery store to get some beverages and a few snacks. We then boarded a cab and headed to our hotel. The owner was there to greet us and help us with our luggage. He's pretty laid back as we had not put a deposit and he didn't ask for any payment. Ron is the one who asked if we could pay now. Our room is small;  2 beds, small fridge, closet, bathroom and dresser. Breakfast is included and a different menu most days. Miguel, the owner,  is very nice and chats with us for a bit. After unpacking we hit the beach for a walk towards town. We take a few pictures and walk around for a bit. People are fishing on the pier. No boats in the water as the winds are pretty strong and coming off the water. A few people are swimming. It is overcast, but still warm and no rain.
We return to our room for a drink and head out again around 5:15 to search for supper. It is early but we didn't have lunch, only some pretzels on the plane. We decide on Mexican fare. I have fajitas and Ron has tacos. Off course, we chased that with a Margarita. After walking around town again, we head back to our room. Ron wanted to watch the World Series final. It's on, in Spanish... Should be an early night. Not sure what tomorrow will bring.
