Our EXCELLENTE Mexican Riveria Vacation and Ideas To Bring Home!

Buenos días, amigos. We just got back from having the best time with four families on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico.

Some of these photos were taken by Alec and others on our trip.

Last year, we rented a house in the Bahamas. This year was just as beautiful in Akumal, Mexico!

I don’t think I could ever tire of Mexican food…perhaps that’s due to growing up in Southern California…but I love all the fresh ingredients. We really liked this restaurant, La Buena Vida… no shoes required… not expensive (no place was very costly in the area) and delicious.

We walked to the Akumal cove, where we snorkeled with lots of endangered, graceful sea turtles.

Another fun time was swimming in the Gran Cenote (cool, refreshing pools and caves).

I’d like to go back and explore other cenotes in the area.

Eric brought water color paint travel sets and it was “chill” time for whoever wanted to pick up a paint brush.

Here is my painting after using the Waterlogue app. But I’m going to put the “not so hot” original on my office message board to relive our time here.

We visited the Mayan ruins in Tulum. It was nice to have a guide for our group (affordable) …and interesting to learn about the history (architecture, life styles, human sacrifices, etc.)
