Tulum Dreams
In December, I asked Slog readers where in Mexico I should spend a few days. Several people mentioned Tulum, and having just returned from a brief escape to the Mayan Caribbean (roll footage of snorkeling in the beautifully creepy caverns of the world’s largest underground river system, croc spotting in a coastal lagoon, climbing a 1,500 year-old pyramid hidden deep in a jungle, eating shark-and-tortilla pie piled with smoky chilies in the atrium of a colonial villa, jumping gentle turquoise waves, shopping for hand-woven hammocks, sipping custard-flavored rompope-and-rum cocktails, chasing translucent crabs as they doodled sideways over soft white sand, laughing hysterically with three of my favorite people under a generously starry moonless sky…) I am grateful for the sound advice.
Oh, you made it to Coba. Wonderful. And Suenos looks pretty nice. A bit posher than the place we stayed, Tierras Del Sol down the road a little ways. Wireless Internet! (But no electrical power, of course).
If they ever pave or bring 24/7 power down the Boca Paila road they'll ruin that place forever.
