We have arrived at the beach! We spent the weekend in Tres Valles then said goodbye to Lola & Octavio's family and embarked on our 20 hour bus ride to Tulum, Quintana Roo. The 20 hour bus ride was a little rough, more so for Octavio than for me since he had more trouble sleeping than I did. We left Sunday at 1:15 and arrived Monday at 10:00ish. After checking into our rooms we borrowed a couple of bikes from our hotel and took off for the beach. We're about a 10 minute bike ride to the beach but Tulum is super bike friendly so we just cruised down the bike path until we saw the ocean. After spending an hour or so at the beach we headed back to our hotel, changed, then set out to explore the town. We found a really cute little restaurant for dinner then called it a night. Even though I made sure to put sunscreen on before we even left our hotel I got awkwardly burned, as you'll probably note in later pictures. Octavio didn't want me to pull out our little map the hotel gave us because it would give us away as tourists. I told him he couldn't blend in anywhere with his now pink girlfriend!

| a cloudy little beach. Luckily the clouds parted and the sun came through right after we got there. (well, maybe not entirely lucky since I got burned!) |
 |
| My shins are a much brighter red than the rest of my legs from the shorts I wore, hence the awkward burn. (you'll see!) |
