well I know I have been missing in action for some time but I'm back. In August I traveled to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. What an experience, the shopping, the food, the beach, the people, the shopping.
Fifth Avenue in Playa is literally 50 blocks of kiosks, boutiques, high end and low end vendors shopping marts, restaurants, bars and pure fun. The Mexican folk art is to die for and sellers will bargain down to a few dollars. My biggest regret is that I didn’t buy more.
Very European in feel, Playa as the locals call it was the perfect combination of gorgeous turquoise beaches, plethora of good cuisine and access to historical must sees in Mexico like Chichen Itza and Tulum. We also did day trips to Cozumel where we snorkeled and fyi is a mecca for scuba divers from all over the world. Next time, I will also add Isla de Mujeres to my itinerary. I write this as the snap of winter is in the air here in New York. But no worries Mexico, I will be back.
