Views from the airplane
These irrigation circles are neat.
Crazy quilt!
A city, I don't remember which one. The pilot always told us.
Clouds and ocean, I could see boats in it, but you can't in the photo
Hibiscus flower right outside our hotel room
The "alley" outside our patio door. Leads to the ocean.
Waiting to go parasailing! It shocked Rick that I would do this!
Up in the air. It was so cool.
Looking towards all the resorts from the boat. Ours is the one in the middle with the palm leaf roofs on all the main buildings.
When we got back to our room the maid (Rosa) had made this for us. She made something new like it everyday.
Walking towards Playa del Carmen we found this. The next photos are actually "Grupo B," but you get the idea.
Me at the top of one of the ruins.
Beautiful palm tree scenery looking out from the ruin.
The back of the ruins.
A THORNY tree trunk !!!!
These orange flowered trees were in full bloom everywhere. You'll see how big they are later on. They also have HUGE seedpods. They look like giant flat pea pods. Just found the name for this, it is called the "Red Bird of Paradise" or "Mexican Bird of Paradise"
This squiggly sign is for their "speed bumps". They actually go down the way the picture shows instead of up like ours. I much prefer the ones here. These things were all over the place! They also have long meridians all down the highway, so if you want to go somewhere turning left you have to go way past your destination and then take a "Returno" to get back to it on the other side of the highway. Definitely different than we are used to.
This tells about more of the area. If you click on the pictures you can see them bigger to read stuff if you want. The X at the beginning of words makes a "Sh" sound.
Trees growing out of the wall
Bouganveilla in Playa del Carmen. The trunk of it is inside the entrance to the store!
These are called Agouti. They were in the meditation spot under a bridge in our resort. They reminded me of the Dejus we used to have, only much bigger with no tail!
Very large spider on an Agave plant. It was so cool. I especially like the way it made zigzag stitches in the web. Maybe it was trying to make itself look even larger.
At the wall of Tulum. (One of the Mayan Ruin sites you can visit.) There is a lizard behind me that we didn't even know was there until I was taking Rick's photo.
Cactus, flowers and beautiful blue-green ocean.

Looks like you had a great time in Playa! Thanks for sharing your pictures! What resort did you stay at?
We stayed at Viva Wyndham Maya. It is a smaller resort, but super nice. They have tons of activities throughout the day for all ages. From the comments of other people on tours staying in some of the bigger resorts, we would not have liked staying in a bigger one. Too far to get where you need to go all the time. Where we were was also pretty central to all the tours we wanted to take, so not too much time on the bus each time.
