I am here, in the land of sun and sand, and...rain. Yes, it's raining today, pushing the humidity from a constant 90% to about 200%. Still, it's hard to be disappointed in a place like this. I am not a summer person - don't care for the heat - but I am happy to be here nonetheless.We went shopping in Playa del Carmen yesterday, and I wasn't fully prepared for the vendors...wow! I stuck to the middle of the street though and watched as the weary tourists got dragged into shops and stalls. We found a gorgeous little open restaraunt and had the first 'real' margarita of our trip. I don't know what we are getting served at this resort - but holy hell, it's sure not the same as downtown. One margarita and we had a hard time walking! We can drink them all day here at the resort and be just fine. I think there's some discrepencey in regards to how much alcohol is served from place to place...
Our group also went to Xel-ha (sounds like "shell-ha") which is the place where they filmed "The Blue Lagoon" and is a stunning representation of Mexico's natural water features including caves and cenotes (underwater rivers and pools.)
We also have an excursion planned to Xcaret, a Disney-like park that showcases Mexico's heritage and wildlife.For now...it's more margaritas and a good book.
Catch you soon!

How wonderful! Xel-ha is where I swam with the dolphins, so it holds special memories for me. And you're right, Playa del Carmen is a den of thieves, although an interesting place!

The water in that photo truly is blue, my word, it's as if the sky itself had popped down for a dip in the warm, Mexican waters.
Thank you very much for your wonderful comments and visits, sweet soul, I hope that all is well on your end as we embrace this finale month of 2009.
Many hugs,
