  Thanks for all the info.  We are well aware we are traveling during the hottest month!  For us it's the only time we can be away for a fair amount of time.  We'll be in the area a month and we have plans to stay in Isamel and Celestun for about two weeks of the time we'll be there.  I plan to spend the afternoons in airconditioned places or napping!  It doesn't take me long to adapt.  I have seen Henry Ponce's name mentioned on many of the houses I've seen.  Your are fortunate to have had him as an architect.  I agree that spending more for quality is worth it  in the long run.  We have seen a small house that could be built up and I'd love to get an estimate for adding a master bedroom with a bath and laundry room and outdoor space.  The yard is small but I believe we could put in a dipping pool.  Could you advise on the best way to contact him?  It would be nice to get together for a drink when we're there.

Where did you buy a house and did you renovate?  If so, do you have someone you would recommed?  what do you like doing since you are lucky enough to be retired?  If I can ask, where did you move from?  Also, did you move your stuff or did you start from scratch?  My husband and I will be spending the month of July in Merida and its surrondings.  We'd love to move there.  My husband is basically retired and I'd like to join him.  I presently work as a food service director for a public school system but am ready to give it up!
