Back to Tulum
The sunrise over the beach in Tulum
Last year in May, the woman and I went down to Tulum, Mexico. It was perfect. We stayed in a tiny property called Casa Del Miel where we could lay around in the sun without anyone around. We drove inland to visit some Mayan ruins and swim in a cenote. And we ate lots of fantastic food in rustic, authentic restaurants like El Tábano and more fancy places like Hachizo.
Like I said, it was perfect.
So, this year, weary from some very busy weeks at work, we decided to relive that bit of perfection in a quick, long weekend trip.
Well, it wasn’t perfect. The property had ballooned from only 6 cabañas to double that, plus a large building for yoga, and a kitchen for food, and a reception area! All these things equal “child friendly.” Therefore, we had to contend with much more people and now children. There were other annoying signs of progress. Among them, the roads being much larger and now paved just didn’t feel as nice.
Anyway, I did have a fantastic long weekend in the sun, but I should remember the two things my woman said we’d learned on this trip: “never go back to somewhere you’ve had a perfect trip and Spring Break isn’t just for college kids.”
Update: That photo of the reflections on the beach is available as a desktop wallpaper at MyBestDesktops.com. Enjoy!
