It is Ruth’s last day in Mexico, she departs on a flight at 7 am tomorrow from Cancun. Her taxi is to arrive at 4 am for the one hour drive into Cancun. Guess our sleep will be in two stages tonight, and being as we are on holidays, it matters not.
We spend a very nice morning on the beach visiting with Mark and Jean. Then Jean and I ride the bikes into Akumal for some market fruits and vegetables. The bikes make quick work of the distance and I’m sure Lawrie and I will be grateful for them once Mark and Jean have gone home. Thanks loads for this you two!
Late afternoon we all go into Akumal for an early dinner at Lucy’s Kitchen and then Ruth, Jean and I take a cab to Playa Del Carmen. 5th Avenue is an amazing pedestrian market that is teaming with people, buskers, and shopkeepers trying to entice tourists to come buy something. Very fun to browse the shops and watch the goings-on! After three hours of shopping, we had all had our fill and departed for Akumal. I think Lawrie and I will have to come for a return visit.
We all are impressed that the taxi arrived very much on time, hugs are exchanged and Ruth left for the airport. I’m so happy to have had her company for this very pleasant week and am hoping for an opportunity to do it again. I’m also not unhappy about the fact I have another two weeks in the sun!
Wow! So the architecture is insanely cool! I can’t believe the curves and pure white walls. Looks so beautiful down there. I’m glad you’re taking your usual amazing photos!! I’d love to see some more photos of actual people though! You’ve not taken any real crowd photos so it looks like a ghost town!
Can’t wait to see some more pictures!
