Category Archives: Beach What is it about a clear blue bondi beach that mesmerizes me? I think it all started in my childhood when my Dad would takes us to the beach at Lake Michigan during the muggy Chicago summers. And then as an adult, I have enjoyed the various beaches throughout Southern California. In my various travels, […] 
 Imagine stepping out of your back yard and this is your view? I would just throw up a hammock between these two palm trees, pop open a bottle of vino, and call it a day. Up and down the Mayan Riviera you can find numerous little towns with views just like this one. This happens […]
 Turns out it’s not just the Mayans who worshipped the sun, so did the iguanas. They still do…but I don’t. On this day, I was avoiding it as much as possible. I was walking around the Mayan ruins in Tulum taking photos before the crowds showed up but it was brutally hot and humid. Even […]

It was taken on a cloudy […]

But then you get a glorious sunset pretty much every night which can help you forget all the bad stuff. Now, a […]
 Have you been to Playa del Carmen? When I first discovered it in 1994, it was just a sleepy little fishing village down on the Yucatan coast.
