Cancun decaf

We are in lazy-bones heaven. On Friday we took a five hour bus ride to Playa del Carmen (only tolerating the long ride with the promise of a beach at the end). Playa is a small town laying along the Caribbean sea. It is divided into two distinct parts—the tourist zone, complete with comforts of home and the Mexican side, which looks like the rest of Mexico that we have seen. This split gives the town a unique and somewhat disjointed feeling—it is hard to believe that Starbucks and a local taco stand can exist on the same street.
Since fleeing our first night's hostel stay (realizing we are way too old for sharing bathrooms with teenagers and staying up all night), we found a charming hotel and prepared to be lazy on the beach. Our only worries now are how much sunscreen to apply (a lot in our case), how to get the sand out of our hair (a losing battle), and where to eat the next meal. We have happily adjusted to this new reality. Despite all this relaxation, we managed a few photographs (so that you can imagine yourself here).
