MEXICO: TULUM PART 2

We booked the second half of our stay at the Mezzanine in Tulum, and stayed at the same spot as last year since we liked it so much, and knew what to expect. Our little hammock spot and frozen margaritas were waiting for us when we arrived.

This next pic makes me sad. I was on a mission this trip to eat at Hartwood, and we got there early and waited in line for about 30 min before someone came up, and informed everyone that they were closed for Mother’s Day. SAY WHAT?! Clearly it’s just not meant to be for me to eat here. That was a pretty big bummer, but C’est la vie because we are still somewhere beautiful, and there is plenty of tasty food to be had. While Geoff was holding our spot in (the pointless) line at Hartwood I popped into Coqui Coqui to pick up a souvenir. This place is so lovely and I snagged another perfume and a rose room scent. So now our bedroom at home can smell like the one from Mexico, and I’m reminded of relaxing in the sunshine.

Next, we headed over to our favorite little taco joint, Taqueria La Eufemia. There is a beach view with excellent people watching, drinks, tacos, good tunes, and extremely chill vibes… Snag a seat, order some fish tacos and make some new friends. I also ordered these skewered shrimp by accident and they ended up being delicious.
The next day we had lunch at the super cute Posada Margherita with an unbeatable view and delicious Italian food. The place is super cute and I was snapping photos all over the place.

Look at this complimentary bread and snack plate, LOOK at the burrata, and the caipirinha! YUM. I want it now.

After lunch, we took a long beach walk and stopped for super cheap massages right on the beach.

I’m usually a night owl and not an early riser, but here I tend to get up, and outside around 7am. The hotel leaves a little coffee basket at your door around 6:30, and I ease into the morning with that, journaling and just staring out at the ocean really. The breakfast at the hotel is convenient and really good.

Geoff slept in and I had some alone time to wander around and take a long walk. I collected a few seashell treasures to bring back and took lots of plant photos. I’ll do a separate post on those because I intend to make patterns or some sort of artwork with them.

Soooo… You get the idea. It was relaxing and we had a great time. We also had an excellent dinner at Casa Banana (twice) and the red snapper carpaccio is burned into my memory.
