Playa del carmen, Mexico

April 06, 2013

Danny and I took a 5 day trip to Playa. Weather was very hot. We stayed at the Iberostar which was all inclusive and a whole bunch of things to do. Danny couldn't get enough of the food! Oysters, shrimp, pizza and pancakes for breakfast. We rented a 4 wheeler our last day just so we could get out of the sun. Well worth the money. We went through beach and jungle trails. It was a blast! Monday afternoon we had a scorpion in our room. Scared the crap out of us. Didn't even consider seeing a scorpion in our room. About the same time we had 11 monkeys screeming outside our door. It reminded us of Jurasic Park. We expected to see a dead goat drop from a tree any minute:) Easter Sunday, we took a cab into town and went to Easter Mass at an old Mexican Church. We didn't understand a word they said but it was way cool to be part of their Easter tradition on Easter Sunday. A couple mornings we ran to the beach at 5:30 to catch the sun rise. Awesome! Tuesday evening we snuggled up in a lawn chair way after dark and listen to the waves and stared at the incredible sky. We could see the lights of Cozmel and the ferry that leaves out of Playa. D- spotted the North Star and one of the Dippers. We weren't sure which one. Actually I wasn't sure it was even a dipper but I went along with it anyway. We took over 500 pictures. Somehow we ended up with about a hundred of girls in string bikinis! Danny must have done that when I fell asleep in the lawn chair... Hummmm. Anyway, we had a great time and one of the best father and son bonding adventures possible!

For you camera buffs, every shot on this trip was shot with the new Sony RX100 point and shoot. Amazing camera! It went everywhere with us and we rode it hard the whole trip. It fit in my pocket and was there when we needed it. We did take it in for a cleaning towards the end of the trip just to be on the safe side with all the sand and humidity. I was SO GLAD I didn't lug anything more than this. Not once did I feel I was missing a shot because I didn't have anything more. Again, this is an amazing camera as every review on the web will agree.
