Back to work once again

My vacation was planned in such a way that we returned home and still had a few days before I had to be back into the office. It felt like a mini vacation and was kind of nice, to be honest.

What you are looking at in this photo is perhaps the best angle to view the largest of the ancient buildings in Tulum, Mexico. There is a staircase built to give access to the beach below and this day was a great day to play in the water. The wind prevented any serious snorkeling, but the water was warm and inviting. I got in trouble with my wife when I took this picture because it meant I had to hop out onto some rocks and that was too close to peril for her comfort. But at least I got the photo and it didn't turn out like crap (like so many others did).

Just out of this photo is a rather large iguana at my feet. He didn't seem to mind me being there at all, so long as I didn't block his sun. I could have stayed here for hours, but if I did I would probably have burned in the sun. We had to re-apply sunscreen a couple times on this excursion.
