    Mayan pyramids... tough as rock.

    The Pixel 6 Pro... not tough as rock.

    Dropped that f'ing thing today at Xpujil. Screen smashed. Thank god I have the insurance. Can't get it fixed until we get back, lol.

    ...

    And we're in Playa Del Carmen!

    That was a long ass drive. Beautiful but long. Went through 2 military checkpoints, they just waved us through. So we circled the entire Yucatan Penisula.

    Time to party on 5th street!

    They quit doing that a long time ago.
    I had a Blazer maniac friend of mine going to France who asked to borrow my Nic Batum jersey. I asked him to take a picture of himself wearing the jersey under the Arc de Triomphe and another photo of him with jersey on top of the Eiffel Tower. The Blazers would not display either one. That's when I got disillusioned with their photos.

    We are at our final stop, the Rio Palace Mexico in Playacar. We stayed here last year and loved it. We booked the cheapest room last year and the cheapest room this year. Because we cheap! When we were checking into our room and talking with the clerk we told her briefly about our adventures. I guess she liked something we said because she gave us a two-story jacuzzi suite. This thing is insane.

    I do and did.

    We use it as a security camera in our room in case someone comes in and tries to take anything.

    Alfred Camera in the google playstore. Free app, works great.

    For years I planned this photo, wearing my Blazers caps on my travels. I submitted it in February 2020. I thought I was going to win the contest for sure but it got lost in the pandemic shuffle. Another victim of Covid! :(

    My bus in Mexico was once stopped and frisked by federales with submachine guns in Mexico. NBD when I was 25. But today? That would FREAK ME OUT. Does it not make you nervous?

    We were really far away from any city or town so the first one had us a little nervous. We were prepared to have them pull us out of the car and search everything. The dude was cool as hell. The second one we weren't as nervous but still cautious and respectful.

    The area we were in the local Mayan population is upset over the Maya Train coming through that area. They already have had a lot of land taken from them so they are very upset about losing the land they have left.
