We left Xcalak at 9:30 this morning, and arrived in Playa del Carmen at 2:30. A long drive, uneventful thank God.
We had a wonderful last day in Xcalak yesterday, and visited Jane and Greg down the coast. We went for a snorkel, and had a snack (my pineapple cake) and Greg, Jane's husband, gave us an elaborate tour of their beautiful beach house. Ho-Le-Dream-House! Greg hired 2 architects and supervised the building work for one year! But that's only after he came countelss times to find the perfect lot... it is his dream house and he put a lot of love and mind... and money into it. The result is jaw dropping, all build by hand (no power tools), and life there is with rain water and solar power. We will keep in touch, they wouldlike to visit us at the ranch.
Leaving was difficult, it hit me when we started driving the little Xcalak coast road - I had a good cry. I want to go back, so if anyone is interested - the next trip might be adults only.
So here we are - in a city! Tim is hungry for some town vibe, so we will go walk around tonight. The weather is cool (sort of sweat shirt kind of cool) and instead of jumping in the pool, Tim and Dylan went to play tennis - while Leo was keen on spending some time at the Kids Club. And I... grabbed the computer and ran to the lobby for some alone time online!
Cheers!
