Bacalar is beautiful. Our house is a work of art. For ten years we have invited friends and family and shown pictures to entice them to visit. Our motivation has been as much to share this place as it is to see people. Very few have taken us up on the invitation. Maybe one visitor per year for the last ten years. We have been the ones to do the traveling, to Texas, California and Florida.
In October Lisa’s aunt came for two months. Aunt Linda stays with Alice and is no trouble. She is however another person for dinner and the shopping is non stop. The sisters are a duo, heads together, talking old times. They’re like a pair of magpies.
I dropped Linda at the airport for her return to California and picked up our friends Dan and Lisa. We had a fun-filled two weeks. We dropped them back at the airport and picked up my brother. In the middle of my brother’s visit was Lisa’s 60th birthday.
We have been tour guides, chefs, chauffeurs and entertainers. Nothing makes you appreciate routine like non-stop activity.
Don’t get me wrong, we have enjoyed every minute. No complaints. Next time however I think we will work on the timing. You’re all welcome to visit, just not at the same time.

I too have that “problem” we invite people all the time to visit us in Guadalajara. We go months with our daily routine then wham three or four back to back visits and we are drained!

It was same for us in Turkey. For my 50th, we had family and friends visit at the same – some staying with us, others stating in local hotels. It was lovely but so much juggling!

Brother leaves on Thursday. He also had a lot of dental work done. Whatever gets them here.

That’s a lot. I have someone coming next week, and a few days after she leaves, someone else. Then a couple is coming for a few months. All are staying in their vans/campers, and all are mostly self-sufficient, though I imagine I’ll take them touring about a little. I’m so glad I have the space for these kinds of visitors!

When we lived in San Fracisco we got visitors frequently. I had a map of SF and we went off to work. Visitors were told to meet at a certain restaurant or attraction. They paid for dinner. Its easier as I did not have to play Uber Driver. SF transportation worked well for us. It was not Quintana Roo, MX
