The End of the Road

Yesterday we went to the end of the road, where the bridge has been burned. We also got the full story about the bridge - On the North side of the bridge, a Mexican official was given a beautiful big piece of land as a retirement present, and decided to build a small eco resort on it. On the South side of the bridge, another Mexican man had purchased a big piece of land and had the same eco resort idea. The one on the South side, who had made a pretty investment no doubt, probably decided to cut the road access to the other guy's resort, leaving prospect patrons to drive an extra hour around the Xcalak peninsula to get to destination. We went to the end of the road and spent a few hours in the abandoned resort. A beautiful place! Only the maintenance guy and his dog. He keeps cleaning the beach every day, as the place looks very tidy. It's for sale, apparently asking 4 million but would settle for 2. Hard to imagine what could be done with the place, it's a 6 hour drive from the Cancun airport, and 2 1/2 hour drive to the town of Chetumal.

Today is my last class at the Majahual Montessori school. We are invited to have lunch at the little taco restaurant to the entrance of the town, the owner is Miriam's husband (Miriam is the owner of the school). It will be sad to leave at the end of the day, these kids are great!

We are leaving this house on the morning of December 13, and since the drive is about 6 to 7 hours to the ranch, we wanted to spend one night somewhere along the coast. I looked online and after some research, we decided to go back to the all inclusive resort for 2 nights. $100 per night for the four of us, all inclusive, can't beat that price!

So we will let the food supplies go down in the next few days, and slowly start packing our bags again. Moving on!
