Playa del Carmen

Mexico log #2:

The second reason we were down in Mexico was to perform at a venue in Playa del Carmen. The new upscale restaurant, Wicky's, had their grand opening for entertainment. We were asked to be the first team to perform at this beautiful venue. Wicky's sits right on the beach and this was our view from the piano:






They even made a near life size poster of us to promote the event:



The streets of Playa remind me of the small towns in southern France. We both fell in love with this beautiful resort town. There are so many different nationalities living in the area. Most predominately are Italian, Dutch, German, and American. This lends to a very international feel to a beautiful Mexican town... except for the Tequila everywhere.

My mom's very good friend's sister, Patsy Chilson, is a real estate agent in Playa. She very generously offered us her extremely beautiful penthouse condo for the week. (http://www.elite-luxury-properties.com/mv416.aspx). It was one of the nicest places we have ever had the privilege of staying in:

The living room area

Kitchen

Master bedroom

Guest bath

Interior courtyard of the condo complex

Second level, private dining/hot tub area

Hot tub with view of the beach

The weather was brilliant while we were there. A perfect 82 degrees everyday. We spent much of our free time on the beach:

My feet.

The whitest girl on the beach!

This is a video I took of some seagulls. I thought it was very cool.

This is a video Jeff took...a little tour of where we were staying:

We really enjoyed our time in Playa del Carmen and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic vacation spot. We actually go back to Cancun next week for two more corporate events. This time maybe I'll actually lay off the sunscreen so I look like I've been in sunny weather!
