A Trip to Mexico, the Yucatan, Tulum

Recently, we took a trip to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, and explored Tulum and the surrounding areas.   

The trip was a perfect combination of ancient history; tremendous art; sight seeing the diverse landscape; super relaxing beach time; lots of yoga; and, my favorite, inspiration--in the form of textiles and artisan handwork, for which there was plenty.  Oh, and I forget to mention, one night of gale force winds while the Pacific experienced a 'mild' hurricane--yikes!


Here are a few favorite moments from our travels.

Me and my brand new teenage daughter,
in low lights as the hurricane effect
gets the best of all of us, especially the electricity.

A sign of a good day when all the
elements line up--black coffee, white mug;
