Caribbean Nostalgia
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 | Places
I´ve recently moved to Riviera Maya, more exactly to some villas in akumal. It´s been a year now and I haven´t seen my family or friends, somehow this holiday season is making me homesick.
It seems my potentially politic family is having all the attention since airplane tickets to meet my family for Holidays were tremendously expensive and completely out of reach.
We often meet my boyfriend´s family in our villas in Akumal, sometimes we invite them to stay over for the night of even the season but this time we are meeting them in Merida. Merida is a Yucatecan city 3 hour drive distance from my Akumal condo. We are spending this special party at Uncle Mau´s place and the night at grandfather´s hacienda. We are taking Mr. Cache our best companion; grumpy and old boxer with us, he´s never left behind!
And the great part is that I´ve just received a call from a good old friend, actually of one of my best friends; saying that she´s coming to Cancún for a week with her boyfriend and her lovely Uma to salute Mr. Cache over some margaritas at the beach.
So on the 25th I´m leaving Merida for Tulum, a virgin town 20 minute drive from Akumal. Probably we´ll be spending New Year´s Eve with them at our villas in Akumal, which sounds perfect for me and for them as well! My first guests in a year!!! I’ll be taking them snorkeling at Yalku, beer bucketing at la Buena vida, deep sea diving with uncle chalo’s dive shop and probably I’ll be taking them to the cenote route by bicycle; which is a 6 hour sunny and exhausting tour.
