Waaah vacation’s over
I’m back from Mexico! Missed you darlings. I had a fantastic time and was so so sad to leave
. What was waiting for me back here on Friday was tons of work that I needed to catch up on. But thank God it’s the long weekend. We had so much fun in the sun and on the beach. I ate a mind-blowing amount of food, especially cocktails, guacamole, and ice cream all day long. I’m too afraid to weigh myself now. My jeans definitely feel tighter, haha! We stayed at Playa del Carmen, it’s a beautiful city an hour from Cancun. I absolutely loved the place and the people, so friendly and charming. Here are some pics to share with you darlings

I don’t get to see oceans very often. I was so excited to be on the beach. There were some big waves on some days and I got so much sand in my hair and ears, lol. Lots of fun.

Yummy soup and a cheese and watermelon sculptures at dinner.

Did some sightseeing at Chichen Itza and Tulum. The ruins were magnificent. And it was so interesting to hear the guide talk about the history and culture of the Mayan people. You know, they are still around, practicing their religion and carrying on their traditions, although most of them live in the jungles.

And I loved looking at the handcrafts and souvenirs. Tragically my camera died on the last day *sob*, now I can’t show you the little stone pyramids and cute little sombreros, and shell necklaces I bought
.
We watched a Mayan dance show at our resort. It was pretty awesome to see the amazing costumes, makeup and passionate moves of the Mayan warriors.




The Animation Team at the resort was the BEST! Everyday they had activities planned that anybody could participate in. I played ping pong, darts, Bingo, volleyball, etc, trying to win a t-shirt and a diploma, but I lost every time, lol. They put on a great show every night and they loved to mingle with the guests.

Look at all the towel art! Everyday our housekeeper would put a different towel art on our bed. It was such a sweet gesture.
I definitely want to go back someday.
Happy Valentine’s Day darlings!!

Looks like you had a great trip! I love your pictures! What resort did you stay at? I’m lucky enough to live in Playa del Carmen, and I always like to hear what people think of the hotels/resorts they stay at. Good luck dealing with the “real world”!
Hi Libby! You are from Playa del Carmen?? That’s awesome. I love your city and the people! We stayed at Rui Lupita. Enjoy the sun and beach for me (of course that’s what you do everyday. Soooo lucky!)
