Everyone takes the same pictures at all the major vacation destinations like Tulum. These are mine.
Check out this vandalized banner outside the entrance for a big corporate whore house in Playa del Carmen. Either somebody felt morally affronted by the sleazery or a local competitor wanted to lower the profile.
There were giant "Welcome to Tulum" signs with bigger than life pictures of Dos Equis beer and none of the ruins. How does a brewery fit in here? Anybody?
I don't get quite as excited about ruins as some people. I like beaches and my favorite thing about the ruins of Tulum is that they come with a nice sandy cove.
Here's the beach on the west side of the ruins, about 3 km long, way better than the one by Hotel Papaya Playa.
The cabanas were more upscale and in much better shape. Guess what? They were all cheaper too at 200 pesos instead of 300. Ignore that guy at the bus station and ask the taxi driver to take you to Diamante or Azul Kim or grab a tourist map and pick a place at a random. You'll probably do better than I did.

Hey Gino, Still at Jaibalito? Thanks for the shout out. I think you're the first person to leave a comment. I had another the same day from a girl in Toronto. Whoever was first, it was a photo finish.
Now I have two.
I'm at Isla Mujeres for one more day and then it's a big long bus ride to Huatulco.
A big hello to all the Jaibalito regulars.
Watch out for little brown spiders.

I love looking at your pics. I can enjoy the scenery and not feel jealous because you're having a good time. It'd be pretty rotten to be jealous of a friend, right?
It was -20C with the windchill in Toronto this past weekend.
But you have a cozy new apartment, aboveground no less, to watch all that pretty snow drifting down in comfort.
Back when I was a young lad and had no choice about going to church, a minister explained that jealousy and covetousness meant resenting the other person's good fortune and wanting to take it from them. If you want similar good fortune for yourself, like your own healthy ass, beautiful wife, house or cozy apartment, that's cool.
