February 12, 2017 - Tulum, Mexico

We biked to El Parisio beach today – with a bit of a detour. We stated off and when we got to the Aldea Zama cutoff, we had to turn around because it was closed. Monday-Saturday while the construction is going on, it is open, Sundays closed!  We rented a chair and hung out on the beach and shared an order of fajitas for lunch. They were okay, but not worth the price of $282 pesos with soft drinks. ($13.75 USD).  You can see we are getting used to Mexican prices! It was a beautiful day and the water was great.

This evening we walked to the central part of Tulum in our search for dinner. Tobey picked this little taco stand and they did not disappoint. We each had 2 tacos asada de res (beef/grilled onion) and Tobey had a taco de castillo (ribs) as well. Total cost – $50 pesos ($2.50 USD). They were pretty yummy.

We went past a florist shop getting ready for Valentine’s Day. 

The carnation dog arrangements seem to be popular!Speaking of dogs, this is Maya. She is Chris and Barbara’s dog and about 2 years old. Every time you get the camera out, she takes off! She loves carrots and and fun to have around.This puppy is Bebe. She is a street dog that Barbara rescued after she was hit by a car. Her pelvis was cracked – poor baby. They took her to the vet and she is recuperating and getting around pretty well with their care and attention. They are hoping to find a home for her because they don’t want to release her back on the streets once she fully recovers. Want a sweet dog? Let us know!
