Here's hoping it all works out for your palapa in Paamul. I too want to see pictures.

I cannot be a proper armchair traveler without pictures!!! ;*) Bill and I are buying this whole, "chopping block with wire baskets underneath that has an extention and will allow me to prepare a meal without dropping something off the 1/2 inch of counterspace" thingie. It also lowers into a coffee table-like thing so the grown ups can eat on a hard surface instead of their laps. It is in one of the RV books, but Target has one just like it for 1/2 the price.

Half the time, I just can't stand cooking indoors (and we have about a linear foot more counterspace than you.) Our camp kitchen is about nine feet long, with three surfaces (two wire, one solid) and a back on which to hang lamps and utensils. We actually bought from LL Bean it when we were car/tent campers. We have a two burner Coleman stove and a small propane grill for the wire surfaces, and the "countertop" holds all the goodies. Not exactly the same as my lovely milk-paint maple and slate counter/sink kitchen I built in Portland, but it works. I'm sure the heat and humidity makes it harder for you all. We're looking to escape to cooler climes today, as a heat wave is building here in Nevada. Hope to hear good news soon on the palapa. Fingers and toes all crossed for you.
