Jaltemba Express Family Celebrates

Socialite daughter Justina Gabriel Bell and her novio escort "Memo" arrived fashionably late for the festive season just after 4pm yesterday. "We are very pleased as always to have the family together" said Bell.

International Volleyball Tournament This Friday

Details for the International Volleyball Tournament are slowly dribbling out from reliable sources. It appears that the games will be held on Friday December 29th at the La Peņita RV resort and Spa. Mexico, US and Canada play off in the pool for the Championship.

Canada has won the title for two years straight after being shut out for 15 years.  Will it be a threepeat eh?

Magical Mystery Tour Slated for Friday

The Magical Mystery Tour led by Val & Chris - will meet this Friday Morning at 8 am at Hinde and Jaime's. Cars and trucks leave at 8:30. The adventure will lead to a spectacular 100 ft waterfall in the jungle dropping down into a swim able lagoon. Those interested should pack for a shared lunch and bring lots of beverages. There is some hiking involved. 4 wheel drive is not required but it is suggested that immaculate paint jobs be left behind.

Leaders Val and Chris right

No Wimps. No Whiners.

Women's Golf Today

Wednesday is Women's Golf at Campo de Ensueno. It is a great way to meet some of the better halves of the area and to have a fun day with the girls. Meet at 10 at the course.

Dia de Santo Inocentes Tomorrow

The day of the innocents is celebrated in Mexico and Latin America tomorrow. Originally celebrated to commemorate the day of the male children killed by King Herod, the day now has morphed into a similar custom as "April Fools Day." Expect practical jokes. Wikipedia says "The mass media make jokes or distort their content in such a way that the information seems real...It is tradition that the newspapers publish whole pages of the humorous news...that seem serious and deceive the reader off guard."

Kohunlich Quitana Roo Mexico Mayan Masks

Photography by Bill Bell

Kohunlich comes the name "Cohune Ridge". Cohune is a species of fruiting palm common to the area.

The site is best known for its Temple of the Masks, an Early Classic pyramid whose central stairway is flanked by huge humanized stucco masks. Built around 500 A.D., this is one of the oldest constructions at the site. After 700 A.D., this temple was covered over with a Terminal Classic construction, this protected the masks and allowed for the masks to remain in excellent shape with some of the original colors.
