Places and Businesses Around Isla

The island of Isla Mujeres has a thriving economy at least during the winter tourist season. It is quite intruiging to observe how everything operates - usually very slowly but with a friendly Mexican smile and minute. From the man on his bike blowing a horn to sell his tortillas to the family who squeezes fresh orange juice down the street, it is very resfreshing to see. Rene Renees- a favourite restaurant

A few margaritas at the tequileria

As I ride my bike down one of the streets in the colonials (neighborhoods), it kind of reminds me of Sesame Street with all the services and workers within a block or two.

There are some business that are owned by Americans and Canadians that employ Mexicans but we try to support the Mexican owned businesses and restaurants of which there are many and varied. Most places offer fresh seafood, Mexican food, pastas, burger, soups and salads. It is rather funny in some of the smaller places after you order, they may run down the street to get the ingredients or the drink you ordered!

Hope you enjoy the pictures I took of some of the places and businesses around town. Until next time, Hasta La Wago!!!
