What is your weather like today?

I just came back from a beach walk with the dogs. Today is one of those days that dreams are made of, golden sunshine, lapis blue skies and emerald green waters. The day reminds me of all that I have to be thankful of. The temp here today is 81 degress and the humidity is at 60%. I checked to see what it was like in other areas, Calgary AB it is a chilly 45 degrees (7 celsius) , Victoria BC, 52 degrees (17 Celsius) Chicago, 69 and of course windy. I'm sure glad I live here!



There is lots of coral on the beach today!



Blue skies and emerald coast waters, how can it get any better?

Out checking for dinner....


Ahhh, Mom beat him to it! Looks like octopus on a stick for dinner!


And of course, the Palm Trees, how beautiful!



So, if the weather is getting a little chilly back home, come spend the winters in paradise. Give the Mayan Living Team a call today, we will be happy to help you find your home in the sun.

Warm breezes and cold beers coming at you from Chelem!

WEATHER IN CHELEM

As I am watching the weather back in the states and chatting with clients, I am counting my blessings that I am here in Chelem and not back home! Just in case some of you need some motivation to "come on down," here are a few pictures of plants in my yard today. As I am writing this it is 80 degrees sitting on my terrace with a nice balmy breeze off the Gulf blowing.


I have fallen in love with Bougainvilleas, they seem to thrive here on not much more than neglect, here is one I bought recently to have outside my living room window


Here is another plant that seems to do well, a Hawaiian Ti plant



And of course, who doesn't love Hibiscus plants, easy to care for and the little hummers love them
This is a succulent, I believe it is a Kalanchoe

Another Hibiscus
And more of my current favorites, Bougainvillea

And one in another color

This little guy is an Avocado tree that I grew from seed

Grape tomatoes, once again grown from the seeds of some that I bought in Costco

This is in my neighbors yard, I don't know what it is, if anyone does, please tell me! It is a beautiful tree that has striped leaves most of the year, than starts dropping them in January. After that the most amazing orange flowers open. Every morning, bright and early this tree is filled with little yellow birds, Orioles, Hummingbirds and of course, Grackles
Doug's bar in the backyard, underneath a Dwarf Coconut Palm

Then a few steps towards the beach and this is what it looks like here today


I must say, I don't miss the cold at all! Time to buy your tickets, pack your bags and follow your heart, come and live in the sunny south! Make sure that you checkout our Mayan Living webpage and look at all of our great properties! Lots of new ones, check them out today!
