I didn't get to post some pictures I took right before we left Akumal. Remember the little dog we rescued in Palenque? She has a new name, Maya, and a new family. Our friends who own the condo downstairs from us decided to adopt her after all. She is so smart and so cute that they couldn't resist her. So, she is heading for Ottowa Canada in a few weeks and seems really happy with David and Tandy. I think she was thrilled to be the only dog and seems to be thriving with the love and attention. It's a happy ending. They promised to send me a picture of her in the snow, they also promised she will have a little sweater and maybe booties.

This is another of my purchases during our trip to Chiapas over New Years. I got this at the same village I got the jaguar, the pot is about 18" high with several jaguars on it in relief. Really beautiful.
