Any day on the beach in Playa is a good day in my book! Even if it's raining I'm not at work!!!!

I guess if we spot Susie on the beach in her string bikini, we'd better not say "hola".....

My perfect day on the beach is some beer, Don Julio shots, good music, and lots of sun!

Read for awhile; people watch for awhile; in the water for awhile; sunbathe for awhile; under the palapa to eat some snacks and/or lunch for awhile; alternate drinking cokes, water and adult beverages continuously; talk for awhile; snooze for awhile....

Rotate all of these things for 4 or 5 hours and that's my perfect day at the beach!

Hanging out with Kathy at Mamitas or Playa Tukan.
Long walks on the Tulum beach
Christmas afternoon at Pirata with Denise, Keith, Tyra, Kinz with
Andy and Anna and their kids and more folks stopping by.
Walking north from Playa for a long way

Cold beer, cold water to drink

What is not to like.

Jeff calls me "Dora the Explorer" cause I roam the beach all darn day long. I can sit for awhile but I gotta be walking and seeing the sites...sometimes with beer in hand...but only if I can keep it cold
