When I first arrived in San Blas, Nayarit on my road trip from Mazatlan the sun was setting. Luckily, I just pulled into town before dark. At the time, I still had no reservations for a hotel, but before I started inquiring about rooms I stopped along the river and took a sunset image. As […]

Sunset Sunday – A Tulum Sunrise for the New Era in the Mayan World

The sun rose on December 21st; the world didn’t end.  Some feared the end with the “end” of the Mayan Calendar in 2012, but others welcomed it as a new era began.  So to celebrate, honor, and welcome this shift in time, I wanted to share a rare (for me) sunrise (instead of a sunset) […]
