Other details of our trip. We did absolutely nothing the entire time. Bliss. Pure heaven I tell ya. We got up, ate breakfast, went to the beach. Ate lunch. Went back to the beach. Ate dinner then went into Playa del Carmen for shopping, or just watched movies in our room.
One day we went to see the Ruins at Tulum. But other than that, just pure relaxation on the beach.
Violet's favorite part of the trip was playing on the elevators at the resort, riding in the golf carts, and using the key card to open our hotel room door. She didn't quite grasp the concept that we were in another country and kept asking to go to grandma's house, or go see cousin Ari.
I read one of the best books I've ever read in my life during the trip. The Memoirs of Cleopatra. If you like historical fiction, you MUST read this book. I also read The Vampire Lestat. Quite disturbing, but I always love a good read about vampires.
Anyhoo, I'm home. I'm not shooting for the rest of the month, but I will be editing and working on albums. And of course getting back to all the emails and voicemails this week.
Don't hate me for being this brown in the middle of December:) Sadly, it will fade in about 2 weeks): I'm already peeling.
