Akumal Beach

This beach is truly beautiful - many locals choose this area along with the visitors. The tourist visit to snorkel, fish and swim with the turtles. Should you have chance to visit, make your way to Lucy's Kitchen (a small shack at the entrance/exit to Akumal in a side street and enjoy a huge scoop of delicious ice cream, one of the best we have tasted.

Re: Tulum Ruins

I love places like this. I like to touch the stones and imagine what the people who built the place were like. Being in touch with all that history is great. My other half just looks at me in a weird way when I bang on about history.

best regards

Re: Tulum Ruins

Thanks both.

I felt I belonged there. Just think away from the complications that rule us nowadays. Of course, back then no medicines of today which prolong our lives so successfully.

Re: Tulum Ruins

I'm with Josh - the last one is great (they are all very interesting!) - great tone - you had great light.

I visited Mexico briefly with the family as a teenager, but only for the day and just over the Californian border, so South America is one of those big places I haven't yet been to... properly. One day!

I love looking at ruins and trying to absorb the history. The beach shot is a cracker
