SO … this morning I was able to get the videos from the cenote trip yesterday uploaded, so here they are:
TODAY: February 22
Our beach trip today started with lunch at Antojitos La Chiapaneca for tacos al pastor, then on to La Zebra. Going through town to the beach makes it a 7 mile ride each way. That isn’t usually bad, but it was quite windy today, so it’s not as much fun! The temperature today was cooler – only got to 80F.
We walked south on the beach for at least a mile. There were two hotels that were setting up for beach weddings. They had a lot of work to do to get ready!Another property had an unusual structure. We weren’t sure what it was supposed to be – art? Maybe?
There was another property with a giant hammock – it reminded us of a catamaran sailboat!
We definitely enjoyed the walk.
There weren’t nearly as many people on the beach today. I supposed the cooler temperature and wind kept some people away.

We noticed they were starting to set up for Carnivale. In the past it has been quite noisy and we wanted to find out when the parade and activities begin.The parade is scheduled for next Friday night. With all of the new construction between our area of town and the Centro, we are hopeful the noise will be muffled or non-existent.
We tried Tulum’s food truck park for dinner tonight. It’s an interesting concept. The park is fenced and they have a large playground area for children. The food trucks ring the area and there are plenty of tables set up for dining.
To honor my Polish heritage we had a shrimp burrito from the “Tulumski” truck! That was our waitress.
We split the burrito – it came with French fries and was a pretty good size! It was $170 pesos with tip, (about $9 USD), so comparably priced to food trucks in the US. We ordered our Cokes from another waitress so another $70 pesos with tip ($3.75) Still a relatively inexpensive and tasty meal!
It was a nice evening and a fun change. Afterwards we biked to the Town Square to see what was happening. A group singing gospel music and vendors set up around the outside. It’s fun to see so many families out enjoying the evening.
The street taco stands were doing a good business tonight, also. There are carts like this all over town and we have to wonder how they manage to sell enough to make a living.
It will be nice sleeping tonight – the temperature is supposed to drop to 64F and there is a nice breeze. No fan tonight!
