Yesterday's excursion to Tulum was most enjoyable. We did not snorkel... but we did do some good old fashioned splashing in the waves. Tulum's beach is better for swimming because the coral reef is not so close. There's much more sand to romp and play in while getting tossed around by the waves. Big fun.
We toured the main drag in town, checked out the gift shops, then noticed clouds overhead just as we headed to a recommended restaurant for lunch. We ordered lunch and as we got our drinks, the rain started. Perfect timing! The funny part is that the two roofs of the restaurant does not quite connect with each other... and the rain came pouring in. It was very amusing (especially because our table was under the sidewalk overhang and we were dry). We sat by the entertainment -- a guy with two synthisizers playing lounge music -- and I did get a little worried when I saw the water from the rooftop fountain nearing his power strip (right by my feet). He did not seem to care and just moved the power strip on to the keyboard stand and kept playing. He played "Raindrops are Falling on My Head" and we all laughed. By the time we were done eating, the rain had stopped. Again, perfect timing!
We headed to the playa (beach) and rented two chairs under a palapa. After hours relaxing and swimming, we dried off and went to a nearby restaurant for dinner. It was an Asian place, and I had the best pad Thai I have ever had in Mexico!
Tomorrow we're going on a tour of the ruins at Coba. We'll be inland a bit, so no nice ocean breeze... but we will have shade. More to come!
