Stormy in Mexico too

Well I'm back from my week-long vacation with my girlfriend Andrea in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. It was great to relax and laugh so much, we had a really good time. Unfortunately, the cold front that you all had to endure here in Canada made an appearance in Mexico also, but instead of -25 deg C we had 25 deg C, which made for lots of clouds, wind and rain... but I'm not complaining. We did get to do some nice snorkeling, visit some Mayan ruins in Chichen Itza and shop in Playa - as well as lots of resting, drinking, eating and dancing! The ocean was gorgeous and we took every opportunity to spend time on the beach. I have to mention the beach bar which had a great bartender and a dancefloor on the sand, it was really cool to dance next to the waves. I guess I'll have to wait until summer to work on my tan. Check out the photos!

Ahh the luxury...


We've been here, in Playa del Carmen Mexico for two days and Andrea is already trading in her Canadian citizenship. The room is great, the food is great, the drinks are great, it's too luxurious... but I'm not complaining. There's this nice little bar on the beach with a dance floor and all that serves awesome shots and has different music each night...it's the place to be. Spent the day snorkeling today and we'll be visiting the Mayan ruins tomorrow. Can't seem to find the time to read my book, but I have found time to nap. Gotta run to make our dinner reservation. Wish you were here!
