February 24, 2020 - Tulum, Mexico

The day started off cloudy and windy, and it sprinkled a bit this morning. After lunch we decided to head to the beach anyway.2020-2-24  kite surferThe wind was the right direction today for the kite surfers. We only saw two today, but we have only seen one the entire time we have been here! The police patrol the beach on quads here.2020-2-24 beach policeDespite intermittent clouds and wind, there were quite a few people on the beach today.2020-2-24 cloudyWe saw several of these boats taking people out to snorkel. The water seemed pretty rough to us, but it was only $100 pesos per person. ($5.25 USD) We have snorkeled before and didn’t really feel the need to go today. We spent some time in the water and relaxing on the beach.2020-2-24 snorkel boatOn the way back to the apartment, we stopped to see some of the art along the way. Buildings and walls all over town are decorated with some pretty amazing art. It sure beats graffiti!2020-2-24 wall art 12020-2-24 wall art 22020-2-24 wall art 3We also passed town square with the Tulum sign. 2020-2-24 Tulum squareIt was street burritos for dinner tonight. Tobey had the asada (beef) and I had the breaded chicken. 2020-2-24 dinnerThey came wrapped in foil which made eating them easier! Mine was loaded with chicken, lettuce, cactus, tomatoes, and was very good. Tobey’s had beef, beans and cactus. He liked his, as well.2020-2-24 burritosHow do you like the table?
