Just back...shaking out the sand and sorting through it all. What an amazing little getaway, wished we'd have book it for a few days more. Rancho Sak-Ol in Puerto Morelos in the Yucatan.
Days of snorkling on the beautiful coral reef...second largest only to the Great Barrier Reef, lots of walking the beach, collecting shells and coral, lounging, reading...great food, rusty bikes perfect for exploring the little town.
Paradise indeed
capturing beautiful little details
of bits of washed up corals and shells and seaweeds
days spent just lying on the beach...watching people, jumping into the blue blue water when we got too hot...
eating beach food...a spot of our own for the entire day with lounge chairs, table, umbrella...many good books...Phillipe bringing us cold cervezas
then the short walk back to our very own little piece of paradise...
past the expected...
and the unexpected
to our little casita...
for a bit of a siesta before heading back into town to find dinner
then do it all again the next day...
So many delicious visual tidbits to savor
I want to be alongside with you
~enjoy all your sunny moments~

Hello dear Steph and Greg!
So YOU two got to send a REAL postcard from paradise and thank you for sharing. I needed that! It must feel great to leave the mountain and visit the ocean. Both feed the soul in different and powerful ways. It always impresses me the way you are both outdoor people who do adventurous things like mountain bike and hike and snorkel. You are both healthy people.
Welcome Home and thanks for sharing your peaceful and artistic photographs of paradisio!

*sigh*... WOW... Paradise, indeed! This was such fun to see, Stephanie, your personal take on time out of time. The lamb sitting in the shade of the car is so moving. Glad you had a sweet get away. :o) ((HUGS))
