Although we are here in the high/dry season of tourism, the sun has been on vacation elsewhere. But today it peeked through, faintly, and stirred me to take a few photos inside our compound. It seems all homes here feature walled grounds. Some are utterly private; others allow some visual intrusion. Yesterday one of these visual intruders, a Mayan laborer working on a renovation next door, was utterly shocked to notice Mary swimming in the pool on what amounts to a cold morning IN WINTER (68ºF) !!! (He mentioned the fact to one of the owners of our casita, with perplexity.) Our landlord explained to him that we come from a cold area, and this is warm to us.

Here are a few photos of our grounds:
