Thanks for that, CoCo (is that abbreviation okay?) – you are wonderful to give me a spirit hug! You are right – I need to just take a deep breath, jump in, and trust in myself. It’s so great to have new friends to boost my confidence! Thanks so much for your kind words… XO

Hey there ESP! So you KNOW that road between Tulum and Punta Allen! Total gravel; completely unpaved – a one lane road with big trucks coming at you every so often. Omigod – my poor bum. Jorge was having the best time driving like he was racing in Monte Carlo! It was harrowing … but fun
You MUST go back and visit again! Your garden is such a riot of color – you must have been developing your palette while traveling. I know you’ll get back there. I feel it.

Oh, Andrea! I am crossing my fingers to be up to the challenge – your spirit is such a boost to my confidence. Thanks, Doll!
XOXO!

Sounds fabulous, darling. Knowing you, you made the most of such a tremendous opportunity. Can’t wait to see the brilliance you come up with for the design.

I am so jealous!
Seeing all your pictures totally takes me back there, and I long yet again to return. We have travelled extensively all over the Yucatan and Belize, such an amazing part of the world. The road used to pretty much fizzle out at Tulum, is it still like that?
Those boats can seriously damage your tail bone, a lot of fun though to try and keep the contents of your drink intact.
That sounds like the coolest design project you are working on, I can’t wait to hear and see more about it.
ESP.

Sue, it was SO surreal!
I think we all need a private island – but how to get one, I have no idea! Our Host and Hostess have pretty vast resources, and I have to say, I think they use them well… they set up foundations, sponsor art projects that have social reverberations, and create opportunities for indigenous Mayan communities in the Yucatan. So I can’t begrudge them an Island!
The Host isn’t Jorge – I am keeping the Host and Hostess anonymous. Jorge doesn’t have an Island – YET!!!
– and thank you for the generous offer to hold my ice water! I feel like I need to splash my face with that ice water … it was all so dreamy…
