Punta speaks

That's me, Punta, the day after I got to Zina's Guest House. This lady, Zina, needed me more than she ever knew!
The first night, I didn't sleep at all because she has an apparently dangerous dog living in what she calls a mirror on her dresser. So I was on alert all night, if not barking, at the very least growling so he wouldn't get her.
So I rested yesterday.First I fell asleep with my chin facing up. Then I changed all my directions at once.
I kept repeating. Then I rounded up all the toys and put them in the kennel; I know the other dog does not go there.
I went back to "go bed" for another few hours of sleep. Then Zina invited me up to her bed.
It was great! But then, I looked a the mirror and there he was again. The dog I think is going to bite my new owner!
Since I can only see the dog from the bed, mommie Zina said I can't stay. She told me "Go bed" and it got down and she quit taking pictures.


I wasn't counting, but Zina said I slept for 8 hours before we went to sleep. And then we slept for 9 hours. I think the dog in the mirror is scared. I only saw him again in the morning and he only needed a quick bark and went away!

Hasta luego, foodies!

Linas Johansonas crave bacon and eggs his for his last breakfast on Isla Mujeres, so we returned to the scene of the first Isla Mujeres meal - La Bruja Restaurant in La Gloria.
Milda wanted arrachera beef fajitas. She had fajtas of various kinds during her visit, but not beef.
Me, owner of Zina's Guest House, I just wanted huevos Mexicana. Well, not just. We all shared guacamole first and had OJ. Linas had watermelon water, too.
Linas and Milda own Milda's Market in Union Pier, Michigan. A bit on the brisk side for daily swims, the vacation was a relaxing time to read and nosh. Milda was glad to get a few new ideas for her deli and not cook but one meal, a breakfast, while she was on vacation. And glad to bring home gifts for her nieces and salsa for her hairdresser! A real vacation! From one foodie to others: I'll miss you guys!

A day in the sun

Today is my day in the sun, even if it's party cloudy! Sergio's weekly maintenance of the roof top patio of Zina's Guest House has paid off!
The plants are lush. In the northwest corner, he's added a little shade roof with curtains. For night time, there is a cloth shaded lamp. The picture below at dawn gives y0u an idea.
So after putting on a pot of salmon chowder, I am up and out of here. Up to the roof top!

Papa papaya

These papayas are going to be breakfast. They came from the tree in the little strip of land alongside the house. I might also add some cut up pitaya.
Now, the pitaya has surprised me. After losing a couple blossoms, what looked like fruits started to appear. Turns out they were just flower buds!
They'll produce raspberry colored fruits the size of a pee wee football!
