Here’s more news:

Christmas has come to the square in Puerto Morelos! The giant tree is back!

There is a Nativity Scene below the tree, which features all the main characters of the Christmas Story, including this giant rooster, who is nearly the same height as Joseph.

Everyone in town was pretty happy to see our long awaited sewage plant go online…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…we expected it to work…but we never really expected it to be beautiful…

Someone painted a really big mural on the large wall that surrounds the plant. I would rarely suggest a sewage plant as a tourist destination, but the mural is really worth a look!

Sofia’s Fashions on the square is closing at the end of the month so everything in the store is on sale 50% off! Store hours 9:00am-5:00pm Tuesday-Saturday. Owner Sharon is closing the shop, but staying in Puerto Morelos.

Happy Hour Soup of the Day at Hacienda Morelos….

Get your toes out of the sand and onto a mat… for a few minutes

While you are in Puerto Morelos be sure to drop by Alma’s Pilates class at the Casa de Cultura. The classes are every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning at 7:00am for an hour and a half. They are a great deal at 70 pesos a class on a drop-in basis or 500 pesos for the entire month. A fantastic and fun way to stay in shape so you can enjoy more tacos and beer while you are in Puerto Morelos.

Heading into our last week of ownership of the Alma Libre Bookstore, we’re getting a little sentimental, so here is a look at some photos from 2006. This was the town’s comeback year after the devastating hurricane the year before.

A familiar view of Puerto Morelos. The taller lighthouse was damaged significantly in the hurricane and needed extensive repairs. It was replaced completely last year with a new one. The old leaning lighthouse shrugged Wilma off without any problem. We were worried it might straighten up!

The beach at Ceiba del Mar hotel (Now Desire). You can see it was quite a bit wider then. Hurricane Wilma did a lot of damage, but “gifted” us with more beach.

Alma Libre Bookstore in 2006. Our neighbour was Eric (Le Marlin Bleu) who retired from shrimp tacos to run Ecab Explorer, an excellent local tour company.

Shout Out: The Godfather Jewelers

(updated November 2020)

Shout out to our friends at “The Godfather” jewelry. They recently did a repair on a ring for us that was better than the original work. Their custom work is fantastic!

Plus their small store has doubled in size! They have an excellent selection of jewelry. We’ve sent lots of people there and they have all come back happy.

They are located just north of the square on Rojo Gomez, across from Tacos dot com or Posada El Moro Hotel. Such nice folks!  They will make you an offer you can’t refuse!
