Tulum and Playa del Carmen 2014

I still like Playa. The beach, the restaurants, the bars and the diving, it’s all good. However, I have been to Playa enough times in the last several years that I think I need a change. I have dived all of the dive sites at least several times.

Las Vegas 2014

At this point I know my way around The Strip and I have a routine and favorite casinos. When I have time I will take the tram from the LVH all the way south to the MGM Grand and walk back along The Strip stopping for dinner and a little gambling.

I loved the pig’s legs hanging throughout the Mercado. You could have them cut off slices of fresh jamon. I also like the sailfish head sticking out of the ice at one of the fish shops so much that I made Karen stand by it so I could take her picture. I’m sure the people that work there think the tourists are strange, taking pictures of the fish heads and pig’s legs

Playa del Carmen

When the waiter delivered our meal he pointed at the habanero peppers and said cuidado which literally translates to watch out. That made me worry. It was the hottest meal I’ve ever had. I had to drink three beers to keep the flames in my mouth at a tolerable level. Karen and I were sweating, our eyes were watering and our noses were running but it was the best meal we had in Playa.

Bahamas- Life on a sailboat

Unfortunately we didn’t bring food to give to the pigs so they checked us out then left us alone. Shane is braver than I am, he held out his hand and pretended that he had something to feed a large sow. She opened her mouth waiting for food to drop in and when none did she calmly walked away.
