Third star to the right, and straight on till morning

Well not quite never Never land , but coming from this

and landing in this 

 it seems a 

 pretty 

 magical place 

 Martins sister  Connie and hubby Mike were our travel companions again 

My 3 Amigos 

 We had a wonderful week in Playa Del Carmen ,on the Mexican Mayan Rivera. Sun sand sea and warm temps ! We were pretty low key this year, didn't go shopping in town at all and only took one day trip to XEL HA pronounced "Shell haa" (will have its own post , but amazing is all I can say for now on that )
A couple  injuries among us and we all have been super busy at home, so we laid low, soaked up the sun and truly  just enjoyed one another's company.All I brought home  from this trip were photos , wonderful memories , and a rotten cold!
But it was  worth every minute .I did go for my yearly "pamper me " treatment had a massage and steam at the spa. Where they also  did a gift ritual with us that included the  4 elements, a wish  and a prayer . we were left with seeds to toss in the ocean  to help our wish  come true. It was very nice and special. The folks at this resort treat us soo well ! our little houskeeper  went the extra mile when I fell behind with my bedtime chocolates  and built me this

and I didn't get a pic all  of the towel creation's she made but there is this one 

and of course the staff at poolside made sure we had plenty of theses

 Mexican fiesta night  was a great  dinner and show  with dancers and music.

Moslty ate  breakfast in the room , but the one morning we did go out , this  little fellow offered to  join us for  our meal .He is a "quati" or "Coati" first one I have ever seen , but once we got to Xel Haa I tell you ...

But this frllow was called Jimmy by the staff and a very friendly fellow . Martin did share a little breakfast with him, proving two things, that cute and bacon are both universal communicators!! 

My favortie part of the holiday was of course time spent with my hubby , but also this little beach. we were told about it and finally madeit there on the last day . a 10 (read 30 min) walk down the beach  there is this lovely bay with sandy footing and warm waters. when you walk in as the waves  come up and subside you find yourself  surrounded by hundreds of beautiful silvery angel fish ! 

 Mike was maning the camera and had a hard time getting me to look up ! I was  just fascinated! 

 A bit of a whoops where a wave nearly  knocked Connie off  balance 

 I think the look on our faces says it all 

Well that's it for now , other than it is wonderful to be home with my critters. Winston and Skeeter  greet me like nothing else in the world!
All is well here with the horses and cattle, they even left me a welcome home gift in the form of an "Agricultural land mine " (frozen poop under snow) which I promptly tripped over and found myself hugging the ground of the home I love!
Stay safe and warm my friends, I will post the rest of the pics soon
