Playa del Carmen

Here are some pictures from our trip to Playa. It was wonderful, easy to get to and so relaxing. There were more people than I would have preferred, but for a first ever trip to tropical Mexico, I’ll give it a superb!
Taking off from Terminal 2 in Austin. That was weird…not only did we have to go to the other side of the airport, but we had to walk up an outdoor ramp to the plane! Old timey!

This was taken right when we got to the hotel three hours too early. Our room was not ready, but we could hang out at the pool or the beach. It was my first time ever on a Mexican beach. Ahhhh, it was nice. And HOT!

The first step off into the sand. Oh yeah, take off your shoes! Duh!

At a restaurant killing time before the room was ready and we could change into our beach attire.

Later that day…


Tulum ruins. It thunderstormed on us that day. We had completed an adventure trip (mountain biking, ziplines, snorkeling, empanadas!) and as soon as we got to the Tulum ruins, it started raining. But it was ok. We swam a little at the beach there. It was fun floating in the rolling waves watching the rain on the water.

A little backgammon at Gaia – the best Mediterranean food in Playa (well, the only Mediterranean place we went to, but it was delicious!)

It was so humid there – this is what my lens suffered the first few minutes out of the bag in the mornings. Kind of a nice effect, though.

Great pics! You should send the Modelo one into Modelo to see if they want to use it for their ad.. I’ll bet they’d love it!

A trip!

Tomorrow is a day for fun. Tomorrow, my man and  I high tail it to Mexico for a few days of much needed rest and relaxation before the Fall season begins. We have been very very busy the last couple of weeks and I have some truly wonderful and fun photographs to show you. However, I must pack, sleep and get on a plane at the crack of dawn.

I will be back this Thursday the 18th and will have even more fabulousness to show you. So, stay tuned and if you need to reach me in that time, please be patient! I am officially on vacation!
