Life in Paradise is NOT always paradise


Ok.  So we all know what we love about living in paradise.  But rarely do we hear about things that make our environment, well, less than perfect.  You know when you are watching HGTV and they show a real estate agent taking a couple or family around the Caribbean showing them beautifully stages homes, with flowing sheers blowing in the Caribbean breezes at large wide-open windows and/or doors. Or, they show open roof top houses that let you count the stars in the evening while you sleep in your beautiful new home in paradise. Well, it’s images like that which prompted me to write this blog post.  Because honestly speaking, we could all use a little bit of reality in the middle of our HGTV awe inspiring moments.

Saturday in Puerto

On the first Saturday of each month (well…mostly on the first Saturday), Puerto Aventuras (PA) is host to a traditional monthly community bazaar (flea market). The bazaar is held at the local school from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Community members, vendors and crafters are encouraged to rent a booth and sell their wares.
