Covid Is Not “Over” (And It Never Will Be) But…

…there are signs that, for myself personally, it’s in a different phase compared to the heights of masking/social distancing/rapid testing that have been much of my (and society’s) approach for the past three years. * I mostly mask when in crowds and/or as a sign of respect and understanding if I’m interacting with someone who’s […]

Secular Sunday – “That’s God Blowing Your Love Around The World”

Sunday March 5 is our 20th wedding anniversary and there’s a fitting story from our Mexican Beach Wedding for Secular Sunday. We used a wedding coordinator in Mexico to make arrangements including specifically requesting a non-religious officiant. The guy showed up the day of our ceremony and it was clear that he actually was *quite* […]

Saturday Snap – Varadero Sunset

Yes, we were in the Mayan Riviera, not Varadero. Yes, I technically quit drinking booze at the end of last August (but with the caveat that I *mostly* quit which allows me to still imbibe occasionally – or more than occasionally if I’m at an all-inclusive resort!) But yes, this drink we invented a few […]

Drive From Cancun Airport to Tulum

The resort we were just at was almost all the way to Tulum (which is two hours south of Cancun.). Our resort was about an hour and a half south of the Cancun airport.

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Seven – Rainbow

Since I said Indigo/Violet were being combined in my Rainbow Challenge, I was hoping to do a final post for day seven of some multi-coloured drinks – the Bob Marley and the Toucan we had at Moon Palace were the drinks I had in mind… Unfortunately, the drinks I got weren’t quite as perfectly formed…

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Six – Indigo/Violet

Going to combine the last two colours of the rainbow in today’s post because: a) can anyone tell me the difference between indigo and violet? and b) if you can, do you think I can find two drinks that fit those two shades of purple? Her: Caribbean Princess (not on cocktail menu but I think […]

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Five – Blue

Gotta admit – was looking forward to this day/colour for some reason…maybe blue just feels both unnatural as a food/drink colour but also very fitting for the tropics? Anyhow… Her: Blue Hawaiian Him: Blue Lagoon Bonus: Real Mayan Ruins (grey) in the background that you can climb up to and see up close.

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Four – Green

Her: Mojito Him: Caipirinha (which I believe would be as popular as the mojito if it had a more easily pronounceable name!  Also, mine should be greener as I’ve had them with a lot more limes.)

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Two – Orange

Him = Bay Breeze Her = Mai Tai (And I think it was the lighting or the cups or maybe even my shirt absorbing all the orange in the room. But you’ll have to trust me that these drinks were more orange than yellow – honest!)
