After re-reading my last post, I realize I don’t really want to push anyone over the edge right now, as the weather is doing a mighty fine job of that all by itself.
Let’s instead have some moments of calm, with heat and sun, shall we? Get in the groove by closing your eyes for a moment, and then scroll on…
This was one of the beaches we visited on Isla Mujeres off the coast of Cancun, on Mexico’s east coast. (Aside: If you visit, you must spend some time cuddling puppies at Isla Animales.)
It was a beach lounge — you could stay all day if you spent about $50 in food and drinks. A pleasure, I say. As did my apparently chubby left foot. When we were there, there were two ladies with massage tables set up on the far left, out of the picture. Did I indulge? You bet.
But if you want spectacular and spectacularly lush landscapes, then the Flower Forest in Barbados is the place to go. Aren’t the trunks of those palms just pure serenity?
If you would like to lounge away in paradise, then my recommendation is the Grand Case Beach Club on the island of St-Martin. But don’t count on the free upgrade; ensure you have a great room or you may be disappointed with your view. *This* is what you want.
Or if it’s the joy of our climate, but in the steamy summer, do you remember these days?
I know so far this post has been a terrible cheat: places I’ve been, things I’ve seen…but we need to remember during these dark days the joys that come with summer memories and travel to distant places.
Speaking of which, I will be heading south soon and will let you follow on our travels. With Skye-dog, of course.
