Feb 19 Puerto Morelos. Hostal Humanity (arrive)

[email to Carol] Got up at 7:20 to enjoy golden hour. [was quiet except for gringo joggers and some Mexican workers. I was walking east and as the sun rose and started shining in my face (powerful sun here, you won't be surprised to learn) I turned around and headed back towards the hotel.


Dawn on Isla Holbox beach


 Packed up to leave and checked out. Bought a ticket for bus to Cancun airport from the hotel. hiked to the ferry. from the ferry walked to the ADO bus stop (actually, in a boneheaded stunt I walking another 20 minutes or so beyond it into town to some festiva before asking about the bus and being told to go back)

Bus to Cancun airport. (Cancun airport is closer to PM then Cancun Pueblo so I saved time but for some reason tickets to and from are expensive) from there another to Puerto Morelos. Used my google map to find the Hostal Humanity. Checked in ... pretty much went to bed.

 [email to Carol] Today I checked out of Isla Holbox and took buses to Puerto Morelos. Cloudburst on the bus just as I arrived. First precipitation I've seen since I arrived.

Aftermath

Phone problem. I lost my phone in mexico (for less than a day) and before I recovered it someone had made a bunch of changes to it (the desk top with rows of apps was gone, everything was in spanish, etc.). I recovered a bunch of things from the cloud but I still have a big problem in that I cannot make calls or texts. When I turn on the phone it says: "no SIM card - emergency calls only". When I try to make a call it says "mobile network not available" (despite being at a location where network as been available in the past). When I try to use Signal messaging app to text it asks me to enter a your mobile number to receive a verification code, but of course I can't receive any code because the text is not functioning. When I try to you the messages app it says "No preferred SIM selected for sending SMS messages". Google is helpful and agrees to send me a new SIM for free.

Feb 14. Coba Pueblo. Hotel Sac Be (Bedroom). visited Coba

Very unfortunate day. Take collectivo to Coba on the way to Tulum. Hang out with two Dutch guys. We Leave our packs at the sanatario with the attendant. Walk and walk around the large area of Coba (many people are being ridden around in tricycle taxis). Hot and sweaty we have lunch and then wait for the bus to Tulum. In an ominous and stupid foreshadowing a woman calls to me as I walk past that my pack is unzipped and book has fallen out. I thank her but am too tired and hot and stupid to realize something else might have fallen out. We take the bus to Tulum where  I check for my phone and  ... it's not there! God you are stupid! What could have happened to it? I'm certain I didn't leave it on the bus. I ask at the ticket counter to see if anyone has turned it in in Coba. They don't speak enough English to understand. What to do? Find a Yankee with a phone and ask them if I can call my phone! I hear an American accent from a woman and ask her. "I lost my p
