Allow me to introduce ourselves. We are a gay couple in our fifties who are in the process of opening a bed and breakfast catering primarily to the gay men. We have been together for several years and moved from Portland Oregon to Chelem, Yucatan, Mexico. Chelem is small fishing village just out side the small fishing town of Progreso. We are 30 minutes from Merida, a city of about 1 million people. A better description might be that we are three and a half hours from Cancun.

When Rob lost his job in Portland, we decided to pursue an alternative life style and bought the house here on the beach. What follows are stories about our move and our new life. Once we open for business, it will shift to stories about the bed and breakfast.
