Tvisla Mujeres
Formal City Council session held in Isla Mujeres with the reading of the Foundation Decree, celebrating 163rd anniversary
Municipal palace was blue and now it is white
The mayor said that white is a color of peace, unity, neutrality and that is precisely what is sought to convey. (Blue is representative of his party, PAN). He talked about the anniversary activities planned for last evening which included reading the Decree of the Founding of the town of Dolores, as well as giving out the Citizen and Tourism awards, and awards to the descendents of the Founders, followed by cultural activities. He said the celebration will not waste money, and the celebration will only last one day, because the City has a serious financial problem. He invited everyone to join the fun and noted this will be the last fling before student start school on Monday.

Critter events...
It is currently the season for swimming with the whale sharks, and turtles are nesting on the eastern beaches in the wee hours. There are Tortugranja staff monitoring the beaches to prevent people from disrupting them, and to gather and transport the eggs for incubation.
By far, most of the turtles nesting in Isla Mujeres are Green turtles (called Blancas in Spanish), and the second most common are the huge Loggerheads, and there are some Hawksbills. The Green turtles take ~60 days to hatch and are held in the water tanks at the Tortugranja until the hatchlings are released by the public at events at dusk on Media Luna or Guadalupana. These events will occur periodically until early October and are usually announced a day or two in advance. They are rescheduled if the sea is rough.
Lately there have been many rays, in addition to many whale sharks. From MVC, we have been seeing dolphins from the balcony, and some large fish while snorkeling offshore. Lotsa mama turtles visiting our beach lately!
There are small red crabs that migrate to & from the sea in August, watch out for them at night on the coastal road at the southeastern part of the isle. The main migration of the blue crabs is during the full moons of Sept-Oct, but there are always some early ones... watch out for them in Sac Bajo.
There are usually some "crab rescue" events on these nights, to help them get across the roads safely. The red ones move between scrub and the sea and the blue ones move between the mangrove type areas and the sea. They are spawning.
Lobster season began July 1 and continues until the end of February.

Hugo Ivan Sanchez Montalvo shared Isla Mujeres Hoy's photo.
Yesterday was National Honeybee Day in the US. Honey is an important agricultural product in the Yucatan & beekeeping is a tradition that thousands of years of history here, & there are images of bees on ancient Mayan ruins. (Ah Muzen Cab is the deity associated with bees.) Beekeepers in the Yucatan used to keep stingless (meliponine) bees in logs. With the younger beekeepers, the 'killer' (Africanized) bees are more popular, because they produce more honey. Honey from meliponine/stingless bees is known for its therapeutic properties, and sells for a higher price.
HERE is a very cool photo blog about women keeping stingless bees in terra cotta pots in Puebla, as well as Yucatec women who keep them in logs ...Photos & captions from THE BEE PHOTOGRAPHER at www.honeygatherers.com
