13. More Tulum

On Sunday, February 25th we spent a day at the public beach and rented an umbrella from a very nice man named Antonio for 220$ pesos which is a little more than $10. US dollars. In spite of the umbrella we still got a little burned. Reapplying sunscreen needs to be more a priority I suppose. It is easy to forget when lolling in the blue waters of the Caribbean.  We rented our umbrella by 10:30, by 11:30 they were all rented and the beach was packed.

Look who deigned to play gin with me!

We treated ourselves to a high end lunch at this beautiful Thai restaurant, Mezzanine. The restaurant is part of a small, 9 unit boutique hotel, which I just might stay at if our 'ship comes in'.

This was the first time that my non alcoholic drink rivaled Chris' in the 'prettiest' category. Gotta say that the presentation he got was better than mine, though. It was made right at the table with Tanquery gin.

Chris pointed out that the crab stuffed wontons were displayed like the logo of a Mercedes Benz. Each one was folded like a little fish. The other plate held fish and chips and compared to home the amount was meager but it was very tasty!

This little red dragon, as the waiter called him, is eating a habanero pepper!
