Two months in Tulum Mexico

[Robert Watcher]

Finally after 5 years since returning home to Canada from El Salvador in March 2020 —— Anne and I are back in the environment that we love. Our decision this time was to embed in an area of Mexico known for its tourism —— but we are not staying at the resorts or new condo areas, instead in the heart of the old town that actually reminds us much of Nicaragua. We arrived one week ago and will be staying for two months.

Here are some street pics that I took this morning while walking around town. Just a bunch of everything LOL

Anne and I celebrated our 49’th wedding anniversary in Tulum last Thursday, at Burrito Amor - a perfect little location for us. The waitress was from a small town in Nicaragua that we were very familiar with when we lived there, so really connected well with her. Briselle took this pic of us with my phone.

Hi, Bob and Anne,

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary!

What a great shot of a fabulous couple (in so many ways).

Congratulations to Briselle as well for the great photography.

Best regards,

Doug & Carla

Benefitting so much from having my little sturdy tripod in my sling bag, and using the Timelapse technique I discovered a year ago when travelling to Europe —— for taking selphies of Anne and I.

While walking around the streets downtown where vendors set up their carts, we noticed in a narrow strip in the middle of a split street, a dimly lit (rope lighting) Tulum heart sign with a couple of swings. I balanced my little tripod and camera on a curb near ground level, as cars passed by —— setting it for a 10 second delay and then 20 exposures once everyfew seconds. I clicked the shutter and took my time moving into my spot on the swing and varied my placement a little before walking back to the camera to turn it off.
