We just got back from Tulum, Mexico! Photo editing is still in progress and I have some more writing to do. Here's a teaser photo expressing my overall feelings about the trip and below are the notes I jotted down for on our first night there.
As our plane descended, the pilot banked a little to the right and we could see Cancun's white sand beaches and turqoise water. As the plane returned to level we observed a rainbow within the clouds.
Awww.....
Acquiring a rental car took about an hour so our arrival in Tulum was a little delayed. We parked the car along the main road next to our 3-star hotel. The receptionist did not speak English and we didn't speak much Spanish but we all used Google Translate until we (mostly) figured things out. Technology!
Hans and I got our room key and then collapsed on the bed. The room was cute. Very simple. The only amenity was A/C. No TV.
We found a convenience store one block away and stocked up on water. Hans bought a Fresca.
Dinner at Il Bacaro. Very good octopus potato "salad". Hans had pizza with bratwurst on it and I had the ravioli. All of their pasta was home made. The bill was much lower than expected especially since we both had beer. I was a little worried about the ice in our bottled water but nobody got sick on this trip.
On the way back to the hotel we enountered a political rally. Drum line, camera crew, guy talking to business owners and then later a speech in the streets. Hans noticed there had been many election signs posted around the area.
Discovered that the travel-sized shampoo I purchased for vacation was actually conditioner. Showered and passed out.
Overnight sounds from outside were quite loud. We think there was a dance club next door. Both of us needed earplugs to fall asleep.
