ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
We usually avoid Playa in the summer because it can be oppressively hot and humid. But this summer, we found ourselves here for most of the summer. We hope we won’t be here in the summer going forward, so we thought we should do things that are only available in the summer.
Diana’s need to rehab her broken hip meant we were (stuck) in Playa del Carmen for most of the summer. The only other time we were in this area during the summer was many years ago. To keep busy, I chose to seek out local events to get to know our town better.
In the article where we told you about my broken hip, we finished up in Playa del Carmen at two and a half weeks after surgery. The fact of the matter is, the next two months were pretty boring. But we did try to find some fun things to do, and of course we had to eat.
Moving on after the graduation in Rochester, NY, we embarked on the pleasant if long-ish three-and-half hour drive to Toronto. Since the route goes right by Niagara Falls, we felt compelled to hop out of the car and revisit one of the great waterfalls of the world.
This year’s US tour, which started in Cincinnati, continued on to Rochester, NY via Toronto. You might ask why we decided to go to Rochester, NY, of all places to visit. The big news and must-do event for us was the medical school graduation of our son, Dr. Goble.
