Tuesday in Tulum

Man I am exhausted and I am only up to Tuesday. On Tuesday Josh, Dad and I decided to take the short cab ride to the Tulum ruins.

WE went to the bellhop desk and they hailed us a cab. Which was just a hand clap away. We get in the cab with a guy who speaks no english. This was going to be a journey. I wracked my brain and remembered what I could from high school. It actually was a pleasant ride.

We were dropped off and had to walk about a half mile to the ruins site. On the way we came across these huts. Dad thought it would be a good idea to take some photos in front of them and tell people this is where we stayed.

We paid the admission and went to check out the ruins. Between the natural erosion there wasn't too much left of some of the structures. Humans had been restricted from walking on them becuase of the destruction they cause as well. We explored, but were more interested in visiting the hidden beach.



We dound the beach, and it was awesome. There was no reef near the swimming area, and the waves were huge. It was a hot sunny day, it was great! Dad even did some exploring and found some rock to hide from the waves.



After the fun in the water we treked through the remainder of the ruins and dryed off. It was super sunny and I was getting toasty. Time to find drink and food. SO we made the small hike back to the tulum area.




WE walked up to a restuarant, and were seated outside. Some how I was talked into this huge mango margarita. It was delicious. WE ordered some eats.


After eating we went and checked out the shops. Dad was determined to barter for a hat. he only had $5, not really enough for the hat, but he had fun trying. We had had enough of the hassle, you know "plastic is fantastic" so we hailed another cab and headed back to the resort.

Once back to the resort we all made plans to meet up for a cocktail hour, then maybe go eat Italian for supper.

We all did go get Italian for supper. Talk about a lot of food. We ordered something from every course. There were appetizers, pasta, meat and dessert. I think a soup course as well. We were stuffed, it was delicious.

Once we made it back to our room for the night we discovered a towel creature on the bed, a dinosaur. Not only was there a towel creature we had a lizard in the room as well. When they came to get it out, they used RAID.


It was that night that I was introduced to the Mexican poos. Amber had already had dose of them earlier that day. Who knows, I think a combination of too much everything. I was worried as the next day we were going snorkeling.
