As part of the 10th Anniversary of the designation of the reef off Puerto Morelos as a protected park, celebrations included a display of all the life of the reef (except fish - this was about the coral). As part of this display, there were art tables set up for all the kids, based on ages, for them to create "reef art" which they could take with them to remind them about how important this natural wonder is. Also, there was a play and puppet show, involving kids on stage at the end, performed by a wonderful actress in what looked like Jack in the Beanstock clothes. Sure wish my Spanish had improved enough to get the gist of the play. The kids were transfixed and delighted!!
Last night, also in the square, a huge stage was set up and a concert was held, with 2 huge screens displaying a constant power point type colour display of all the fish, coral, beaches and reef. There were 3 bands, starting at 9 pm, and we stayed long enough to hear the first 2. Great music, the first band a hip hop/Mexican rap style band with a strong environmental message. Next was a "Herb Alpert and the Tijuanas" style band - 10 or 12 guys, all dressed in matching orange suits, all with horns of every variety - loud, great dance music, doing synchronized steps all the while. My pics in the dark are terrible, so no decent visuals.....:-(

I have been following your posts and was sorry to read about Miki's medical scare. I'm sooooooo happy that there was a fairly quick diagnosis and the news was good.
Hang in there and keep on enjoying your time in beautiful Mexico.
