Sergeant Major (type of damselfish)

Iris is back! You may remember her from last year as our Casa de los Viajeros guest that shot the wonderful bird photos in our garden that you can see here.

Southern Stingray

This year Iris got a new underwater camera and she has been nice enough to share more of her beautiful photos with us. She also identified all the fish for us! These pictures were taken this winter at our reef and at the small cenote which is located just offshore in front of Ojo de Agua. Iris took them while snorkelling. It is amazing what you can see just from the surface of the water.

For the last 20 years we have been writing the Beach Reads Blog. At first, it was just “Beach Reads” but after we sold Alma Libre Bookstore and started the website www.InPuertoMorelos.com, it became the Beach Reads Blog by InPuertoMorelos.com. There was no such thing as a “blog” 20 years ago.

You can find the new Alma Libre Bookstore website here.

If you want to take a trip down memory lane, you can still read our original “newsletters” (as they were called in those days) here. Including our very first one from 2003 which talks about our drive from Canada to Puerto Morelos.

We hope that you continue to enjoy our website and blog. Thank you for subscribing to Beach Reads InPuertoMorelos.com.
