Another Day In Paradise

 Looks good, doesn't it?  It's called "Dead Bread" and was made specifically for Day of the Dead which is today Nov. 1st!!  Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday but it's not like our Halloween, it's a day for them to remember and honor ones that have died - more like our Memorial Day!!  Anyway, the bread was delicious just eating it plain as it has sugar and cinnamon on top!!

Glenn and I got up earlier again so walked down to Turtle Bay Cafe to eat - Cindy and Rene showed up right afterwards and we all enjoyed a great breakfast!  The guys decided they wanted to head back towards the Tulum beach road and go fishing off the bridge - Cindy and I decided we wanted to just hang out at the condo and relax under the palm trees - it was heavenly!!


 The maid came to clean the condo, the owner of the condo stopped by AND a service guy came to try and fix the sliding screen door so we had all kinds of company!!!

Here's a pic of the non beach side of the condo - not sure how many are in this building but it's impressive looking from this side


 This is taken through the walkway and the condo we stayed in is to the right.

 They have a beautiful pool which we have yet to get into!!  It feels pretty cold compared to the ocean so I'm not sure if we'll get in or not!


 The guys got back about 6:00 and we had guac and chips ready for them!  They had a fun day fishing at the bridge and hanging out at Xamach's - a place Glenn and I discovered the last time we were in Tulum!!  It's an extremely small resort out in the middle of nowhere with a beach just like our Tulum beach - awesome and beautiful - someday we will stay there!!

It was rib night at Tequilville so we headed into town and had a great meal of ribs, potatoes and salad - along with pumpkin pie for dessert - yummy!!!
 
After a full meal, we all once again headed to bed with our books!!  We were supposed to go to a Halloween party at a bar/restaurant  - we had met the guy who owned it the night before and he insisted that we come, but after a full day of sun and relaxation, we were just too tired.......that's the nice thing about vacation - you can do what you want!!!!
