Tulum Day 7: Relax
I spent the whole day at the beach yesterday and by the time I got home I was too exhausted to write. The water was more magnificent than how I saw it from Punta Piedra the other day. I’m not exactly sure what beach we were at, but it was down a ways past Punta Piedra. I laid on a massive lounge chair cabana thing, … Continue reading Tulum Day 7: Relax
Tulum Day 5: Quality Products
Something I’ve noticed over the past few days is the intricate artistry and craftsmanship that the people here in Mexico put into their work, especially when it comes to furniture, leather goods, ceramics and household items.

I guess I first became aware of the strength and durability … Continue reading Tulum Day 5: Quality Products
Tulum Day 4
The full moon party was a lot of fun. They played mostly EDM and some chill vibe drum and bass and everyone was dancing and having a blast.

It really was … Continue reading Tulum Day 4

Angel, the chef and co-owner, makes some great food and he’s super friendly as well. Richard invited me to a full moon party tonight at Papaya … Continue reading Tulum Day 3: Making Friends

It was so cute. Brightly coloured walls inside and out, a small pond with a few turtles wading around, and the food was delicious. I sat on the back patio surrounded by these massive … Continue reading Breakfast in Tulum, Mexico
Learn From My Mistakes: Tulum, Mexico
I flew from LAX to Cozumel with several miserable layovers in between. A trip that should have only taken six or seven hours took a total of 15 + hours; but, being the deal hunter that I am I chose a flight that was a few hundred dollars less using skiplagged.com, which is a great flight source, but in this case it really wore me … Continue reading Learn From My Mistakes: Tulum, Mexico
