Just back from Playa del Carmen...

...and despite it's having been an extremely quick trip, feeling relatively rested and inspired. Stayed at the Ocean Maya Royale with friends Monica Marsh and her son Curtis, swam some, got some sun, saw a LOT of coatamundis wandering the resort property, ate very well, and experienced some WILD Caribbean storms -- luckily not when I was in the air, or in danger of getting sopped.
