KITTY CORNER
Dog meeting last week spawned a petition which Deena was circulating, the result of this is yet to be known.
Spay and neuter clinic was very succesful over the last two days . 47 animals on the first day and 41 on Tuesday - bunny, cats and dogs. The wonderful people from VIDAS of Denver recruited vets from all over States and this year brought 3 x 3rd year students. They spent 2 days here and 3 days in Playa working from 8am to 7pm. Thanks to volunteers for intake, recovery and cleaning animals. Ama
zing job done by all. The whole community benefits. Thanks also to Lisa and Miguel for free accommodation for the volunteers at Playa Secreto Beach Villa - most generous.Remember you need to care for your pets in a different way in the tropics - fleas, ticks and heartworm are normal occurrences and your pet needs to have constant treatment against them to prevent life threatening diseases and household infestations. Please ask our local vet Jorge for the best treatment for your pet - do not let them go untreated, the treatment and cost of the subsequent diseases is highly undesirable.
CELESTUN
Last weekend another wonderful couple of days in Merida, really the gourmet capital of the Peninsula. Enjoyed watching a friendly game of Polo and then on Sunday a trip to Cel
estun - easy side trip to the East from Merida. This beach side community is famous for CRABS - we had stone crab claws - just delicious, crab ceviche, 
crab with butter, pulpo with garlic and prawn ceviche, 5 margaritas, beer and soft drinks for 900 pesos, sitting on the beach watching the world go by. Now why do we live here again?
On the way stopped in the small village of Hunucma famous for being the location of the proposed new
Merida airport but also the home of Zapateria Franco, another of the Peninsula's artisans - I ordered a pair of hand made riding boots in his shop that smells of leather and history.POLO
Don't forget to
let your visitors know ( or remind yourself) that there is more than the normal fun in Merida next weekend - beach Polo is at the Progresso Pier on Saturday and Sunday from 2 pm. You get to watch the sport of Kings for free and party on the beach afterward. Sponsors include Corona, Coca Cola, Magra and XtabentunON THE ROAD
