We arrived in Tulum at around 3:30pm, the road was good and the trip went very well. We took the highway from Merida and turned South at Valladolid. We were on these roads before and we navigate easily now. We stopped again at the pottery vendor close to Coba, I purchased a couple of pieces for my collection. Once in Tulum we made our way to Posada Yum Kin, a charming little inn behind the back streets of the town. It' a beautiful place, quiet and comfortable, big pool for the children (and us!). We have a nice suite with kitchen, and a big shady veranda with a hammock. Perfect!
I started to put the food in the cupboards, realising that I will not pack it again. Whatever we have left on Sunday morning will all stay here - and it gives me another styrofoam cooler to pack fragile items - great! No cooking tonight though... we'll find a luncheria to have a quick bite, then go to the grocery store to get some supplies for the next 3 days, and that will be all for grocery shopping. The next time I shop for food, I will be across the street from my house!
This last bit of the trip is a bit difficult for me. I have just realised a long time dream and although in many ways it marks the beginning of a very exciting phase of my life, I feel deeply moved by this experience. It has provided a lot of answers on personal matters, and shed light on a very promising road ahead. On the business front, it has given me the energy to move mountains and have tons of fun along the way. I come back home with a bounce in my step, and renewed energy that will take me a very long way ahead.
It will be interesting to see what effect it has on each of us in the coming months (and years). Tim and the boys have a very special place in their heart for Mexico, as I was hoping they would. When I come back here to work in the coming years, I hope they will want to accompany me occasionally, and re-immerse themselves.
What will we do in Tulum in the next 3 days? No idea. I'm done planning - mission accomplished. For the next 3 days, I only go with the flow!
