Desire and Dreams

We always get up early although this day we slept later than usual. I actully did a little website "real work" and we had the continental breakfast at the Posada - great coffee, juice, fresh local fruits, and bread/butter/fresh jam. It was plenty after our rib-sticking dinner.

We did some walking and looking then went for our morning long, serious walk. Turning south leads you to the port authorities and there isn't much down that way so we headed north. This lead us past beautiful private homes, vacant land and finally along the beach where "Desire" is located....the nude resort. We were impressed by everybody having such nice tans, being so "hairless", and having such a good time frolicking around playing volleyball...and a few other things. We weren't so impressed with the age of some of the couples and the size of their bellies...ick! I guess we could have looked the other way towards the beach and pretended we were just observing the beautiful water....but we didn't - we both looked!!!
We turned around shortly after walking past Desire - we didn't make it to Dreams on this particular day. Funny thing is that Desire lies smack dab in the area that separates the beach town of PM with the resorts that are north of town. So anybody young or old that walks the beach to go into town has to walk right through the resort. Let me tell you, there was a steady stream of resort people walking that stretch of beach to "get into town". Both of us knew walking north would be a daily ritual during our time in PM. :) Sometimes wish we could just develop more of a European approach to bodies than the Southern attitude that we have.

 

Yesterday after arriving, we had sat at a beach bar underneath a palapa and drank a bucket of Pacificos- it was the Ojos de Agua beach bar. Today when we headed for the beach we went there for a repeat. Such a nice place to sit and look out over the beach with chairs, palapas, and plenty of sun when you want it. We were told by our same nice waiter "Miguel" that the chairs w/ palapas were going to be $150 pesos regardless of ordering from the bar. WTH! Also, the whole beer thing had changed....Miguel had changed. Probably because we saw El Jefe sitting up near the bar with a sour look on his face. This started our ritual of going to the Super Willy's in town and buying a Liter of Sol for $24 pesos plus $6 peso deposit that we got refunded when we returned the bottle. It was somewhat of a walk but worth the savings. We hope Miguel looks for a new job.

 

Back at the Posada, we met 3 interesting "sistas" that had traveled down to PM for the 3rd time. They all lived in different parts of the US and come together annually in PM. I would so love to do a trip like that, and PM would be a great place to do it. We also met an interesting younger backpacking couple from Northern Canada. We shared a drink up on the 4th floor palapa with them before we  went to eat fresh fish at a place on the beach called "La Playita".

We are really liking this place - gonna go to bed, sleep like a dog in Puerto Moreles, dream about the desire to come back here soon!
