Gates

The strangest things interest me!  I can do without souvenir shops or any retail stores
but show me a old rusty gate and I'm in heaven!  

What I saw on a side street
in Cozumel on my trip last month...

An old rusty gate...

Across an archway


The shop owner next door saw me taking pictures
 and invited me in further into the courtyard where I found a swing made from a board and yellow rope.
Does a child lives here behind one of the doors?

Iron grates over the windows look pinkish.


You can see the ocean at the very end and turn around and see the ocean on the other end of the street. 


Turning around....the sea again.  We are actually on an island off the coast of Mexico


I loved this tin house number sign..


Hopeful shops flying the colorful Mexican Flag


The owner saw my sister and I chuckling over the sign over his shop...Cheaper than Wal-Mart

 He headed over to compel us to come in and then 

he kind of chased us as we declined....
Note that ruby red Walmart hat!


The gate wasn't private enough so it was covered with canvas.
It really brought out the iron scrolling details.

Next trip maybe a little further off the beaten track and a trek to the other side!

Hi Jeannie! Sorry for the late visit on your blog. Been catching up with a lot of work related matters after the holiday break. It's almost Sunday again here in my place.

Hats off to the very persistent vendor haha The old house is for the win. I actually like it. The details of the photo made it. To live in a place whose end is the ocean, is so priceless. Not everyone has the privilege.

Wishing you a great Sunday!

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
