We arrived in cancun at 9:30 this morning. We rented a car and the adventure began. We made our way south along the coast. As we entered Playa del carmin I could not resist the urge to stop at my favorite taco place. The shrimp tacos there are to die for. After that treat we made our way to pa.
Let me describe the scene from my eyes as I lay here in a lounge chair at the beach side pool. As I lean my head forward and press my double chin to my chest, I can see the supple roll of my middle aged white guy belly. Past that I see my sexy feet. (note to self find someone willing to give me a pedicure. ) the past winter of wearing shoes has not been good to the feet. Damn. Now for the real scenery. To my left is the rock jetty that is the entrance to the marina. As I look left to right the colors blend from azure blue to purple and as the water shallows, the blues become light green and turquoise. Then as the bay shallows more, there are brown spots that mark the area where the coral heads are. There are two girls snorkeling and I can hear their expressions being piped thru their snorkels from here as they discover something new as they round each coral head. As I look straight past my feet ( sexy feet) the crescent shaped bay teams with color as the sunlight shimmers across the water. Further right is the beach. There are kids running in and out of the water and giggling and splashing as their parents read books and snooze under the coconut palms that line the beach. There is of course the obligatory fat bleach white tourist old man walking down the beach in his mankini , banana hammock, grape smuggler.... You get the point. The little bar at the omni resort in the apex of the beach is busy serving tropical libations as the tourist get roasted by the carribean sun. Their white shirt lines give them away. Ten pesos says that not one of them is wearing sunscreen as they all want "to get a base burn". Stupid. Further down the beach there are some girls playing frizbee. And as I look directly next to me there is no one in the chair. Man this scene should be shared. Beautiful. I think I am going for a pedicure.
This afternoon I showed the guys around pa and introduced them to friends. Patrick made the mistake of trying to hang with the Mexicans when they were taking bites of habanero peppers. He is hurting now
