Recently, I returned from a very relaxing vacation to the Western Caribbean. On my journey, I was lucky to visit Tulum Ruins in Mexico. How to the spirtiual center of the Mayans. Tulum was like their library housing all the great discovery and information the Mayans discovered. Resting on a cliff over looking to turquoise blue water of the Caribbean, Tulum is anything but ordinary.
Angel, our guide for the afternoon, impressed me the most. I was touched by his passion and love for his heritage. The sheer knowledge he had for his culture and past was remarkable. If everyone cared as much as he did about their culture, the world would be a better place. Descending from Mayan heritage, Angel told us a lot about what made the Yuctan unique. Also, he informed us that the whole 2012 thing is a scam. He said the Mayan culture has never predicted the end of the world but the Mayan calendar just resets itself on Dec. 22, 2012. Shew! Hopefully, he is right.
The beach at Tulum was breathtaking. The crystal blue water, the white soft sand all surrounded by the contrasting jagged dark rock cliffs and rocks in the water created what my eyes always envisioned paradise to look like. I think the visual created a thought of a physical description of how opposites really do attract. In such close proximity, two vastly different terrains in one-spot working harmoniously together. A visual Yin and Yang. I think in life people give up to easy when there are opposing sides. I think a lot about relationships, mainly because its an area I am so weak in, but if more relationships focused on loving someone for their differences and accepting them. Like minded people aren't meant to be together. A person will never grow or be interested if there isn't a challenge.
Ending our day in Tulum, I decided to stop at Senor Frosty's. A small restaurant outside of the ruins. I ordered 3 grouper fish tacos. The tacos were absolutely delicious! Grouper followed by layers of avacado, rice, cliantro, ei ei salsa & a splash of lime juice created a fiesta in my mouth! They were so yummy, very spicy but worth it! More Adventures to come highlighting my most recent trip!
