The family, friends and travel page by Coni and Bill. 

This started as a site for our travel photos for friends.  It has evolved to include all travels in the past 30 years as well as photos of family and friends here in Puerto Morelos.  I know it has grown large, but hopefully you will enjoy at least parts of it.

 SIESTA'S

Most people think it's a bad thing to do.  They think it's lazy, self-indulgent.  They work too hard, they don't have time, the kids won't let them .  But you must take the time.  It will make you live longer.  A half hour nap isn't a half hour lost; it's an hour added to your life.  Siesta's are restorative. Siestas allow your mind to free-associate.  A siesta is not a waste of time.  It's nature's way of reminding you that 

life is really...nice.

 The family of Bill Butcher invites you to participate in the celebration of his life as we scatter his ashes at the reef here in Puerto Morelos on Tuesday 29^th December 2009 10:30 AM. For many many years he enjoyed diving and snorkeling in these waters and it was his wish that he be part of that reef forever.   We will have boats available for anyone that wants to participate with us at the main dock in Puerto Morelos. After we return to shore everyone is invited to my house:  #776 Av. Rojo Gomez for fiesta.   Hope you can join us.
