ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
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.
Golden dusk whispers,
Elephants drift through tall grass—
Moonrise, hip undone.
The fifth Namibian stop on our African Adventure 2025, after the Sand Sea was at Mowani Mountain Camp. Highlights of this lodge among the boulders included a visit with a parade of elephants and a cool area of rock formations and petroglyphs.
The places we chose to visit on our self-drive in Namibia all had some kind of significance. We visited the Kulala Desert Lodge next because of the red dunes. Our son had seen them while he was doing a study abroad program in Botswana and told us we should definitely see them.
