February 9, 2020 - Tulum, Mexico

We decided we needed to chill today and avoid spending too much time in the sun. We are both still trying to get over our colds, so this morning and early afternoon was spent reading and napping!

Our bicycle trek this afternoon took us south to Holistika, a hotel and retreat center, set in the jungle. 2020-2-9 HolisticaThey have yoga classes, a spa, and focus on a relaxing alternative lifestyle. We enjoyed walking through the property and seeing their art walk.

These were some of their art murals we saw as we made our way through the jungle.2020-2-9 Holistica elephant2020-2-9 Holistika art2020-2-9 Holistika art 22020-2-9 Holistika art 32020-2-9 Holistika art 42020-2-9 Holistika art 5 I have to admit that I made us hurry along because the mosquitos thought they should enjoy us! We got too many bites – thank goodness they quit itching tonight!

We meandered around the residential areas of the La Veleta neighborhood of Tulum where we are staying. There is construction everywhere! These two buildings are right across the street from one another. 2020-2-9 construction 12020-2-9 construction 2We continued on to Chedraui to pick up a few things for dinner when we started to feel a few sprinkles. Almost immediately, it turned into a downpour! We took shelter (sort of) under the overhang of a building while it rained. Ten minutes later, it stopped and we were on our way! By the time we got to the market – about 6 blocks away – it hadn’t even rained there!2020-2-9 rainBack home, Tobey beat me at a game of gin before dinner. I am afraid he is launching his comeback! Tomorrow is supposed to be another nice day, so who knows what adventures we will have?
