We went to Playa del Carmen to see the sun, and we saw /observed a lot more. What a wonderful, but perplexing area, lots of major resorts, and therefore lots of money, supported by lots of people. On one side of the major highway was the coast line, with tons of overdone posh resorts, and on the other side little or nothing but vegetation and small cement buildings under the sun. The haves and the have nots.
The pictures: On the same street you have an electric police car being charged and a tower of light that made everyone smile and walk towards it. There are beautiful colors in the buildings, and yet signs that make you smile (a bagel during your massage?), and 2 beers and fish tacos for $6.
Then the Tulum Ruins (notice the corner face?) with the attached beach - take a dip while exploring the past!
Then on to Xel-Ha where you can go down the stairs to snorkel with the fish, eat ceviche (notice the octopus suckers?) or sit on the beach.
I was fascinated by transportation; palm fronds pressed into the cement walkways, cement seashells lining the highways, and clean big buses that showed movies during the rides. We also used the cheaper local mode of transportation- the collectivo vans, half the price of the regular big buses, and you just flagged them down on the side of the highway.
