No commentsAvenida 45 – Part Two
Moto row
Chiny’s got a nice variety of paving stones available.
Don’t cry for me Mexico.
Packrat, Mexican style
Another unique house.
Roasted chicken. Yum! Check out that roaster on the left!
Or maybe you want to roast your own chicken. Who doesn’t love to eat a happy cartoon chicken!
La Plumita also offers fresh turkeys, dead or alive, for your holiday needs. Cut off date to reserve a turkey was December 15th though.
Drive through bill payment at CFE, the electric company.
Or you can pay your electric bill at any one of these convenient locations. 
Whatever you do, do NOT attempt to pay inside the CFE office. Unless you want to kill an hour standing in line!
Paletas are the best! I love the way “Gerry” decorated his paleteria.
Playing soccer at the Gonzalo Guerrero Park.
This sign states that $3,355,398 pesos has been invested in actions to save public spaces in the municipality of Solidaridad (including Playa del Carmen south to North Akumal). “Learn, enjoy, reclaim your space, and strenghten your community.”
Groovy in green.
Have a nice day!
Avenida 45
This is another restuarant we hope to try out soon. I love saying the name over and over again. Cheester … Cheester …. Cheester
Colorin Colorado day care center
When the dog says ‘Wow’, Telmex has got to be offering a great deal. Yeah, you almost had me convinced.
Guess someone got tired of painting. Or maybe the wife changed her mind about the paint color. 
DIF is a federal agency that provides social assistance to families.
Part of a newer condo complex, Torres del Carmen.
Although many of the new condos and houses in Playa are being painted white, there’s still plenty of color to be found.
I just like this picture.
I NEED to have these flowers in front of my house!!!!
This is apparently the office of the Municipal Directive Committee of the Frente Juvenil Revolucionario (Revolutionary Youth Out Front). They are associated with the PRI political party, which controlled Mexican politcs for something like 70 years until fairly recently. Not sure how revolucionary they are. Reading their website, it seems to me that they are against corruption in politics, which is a pretty revolutionary idea in Mexico (and in Illinois).
This dog was so sweet!
Cool looking house. Definitely not the normal style around here.
This is much more typical — for a fairly well-to-do family. I’ll take one!
This cantina was rocking out the music! When I walked by, a guy was coming out, and the place was packed with cerveza drinking men! I think this is one of those traditional cantinas that doesn’t take kindly to female visitors.
Stay tuned for part 2 …
