WHEN I’M SIXTY FOUR – THEN WHAT?

Finally! We’re free!!!

Don’t get me wrong; we’ve been more than grateful for having found a little peace and quiet amid the whirlwind of events that have taken place in our lives. Nevertheless, carrying the responsibility of two big dogs and a recently renovated house – including the obvious electrical and water teething problems that such a refurbished structure will present – is no small thing, even for a seasoned property manager. After two months we are more than happy to leave these daily – and sometimes stressing – duties behind.

Considering aforementioned situation and other business related duties, it took a little effort to get into the mood to celebrate Honza’s 64th birthday. Still, after lunch I was able to secure us a spot at a beauty salon where we both could be serviced at the same time. For his birthday Honza wanted to receive a pedicure from a sweet Mayan girl, something he never had experienced before in his life, and he wanted turquoise nail polish on his toe-nails.

No private pool as a birthday present this time.

No $X$ Jeep as a birthday present this time.

 

This year it was simply a pedicure at a salon where the big boss had ordered the girls to play music from Tiesto, and Tiesto only. We personally prefer Armin van Buren, but they’re both Dutch, so what to say?

That same afternoon, right after that aesthetic and fashionable splurge – and one that may even start a new trend – we headed to the address where we are about to open our new restaurant. Indeed we have found the perfect spot to start a new adventure and continue to live our dream. It’s a beautiful garden in downtown Playa del Carmen that every Playa peep knows as the Garden of Eating.

Stay tuned, because we’ll open soon!
