As I was sitting in the park one day, I couldn’t help but notice this little detail in the stone work. I love stuff like this. It would have been so straight forward to just leave the end of this block blank. But adding this little detail is so great and I think it really …

Hang out
I was just wondering around a neighbourhood in Playa Del Carmen as one with a curious mind does. The main streets are good, but I also find regular streets to be just as interesting. I also find it really interesting to see how locals are living and going about their lives. This picture shows that …
In The Street
Look at this crazy Mexican in the middle of the street! 🤣 Clearly the lighting is bad and the shadows on my face are awful, but I like the memory so I’m posting the picture haha. Michelle, our kids and her brother were out exploring Playa Del Carmen and I was taking pictures here and …
Old Hotel?
I am not really sure what is going on with this place. It looks like an old hotel that is some what abandoned. I honestly thought it was just abandoned but then as I walked up to the place, dogs started barking at me. So I’m pretty sure people live there, but maybe only in …
Down by the Beach
I didn’t spend a ton of time at the beach while I was in Playa Del Carmen. I think I had 2 real beach days, and few beach walks. Like these guys, I think I prefer to be near the beach and looking at it rather than right on it getting my shoes full of …
OLD 149 House
This old house caught my eye when I was walking by. The house is on a relatively busy street downtown in Playa Del Carmen so it looked a little out of place. I am assuming it’s quite an old house. The roof is so strange, but it works. I really love all the vines on …
Motorcycle Dog
I just barely got this picture. These two were burning by and as soon as I noticed the dog my camera went flying up to my face! The funny thing is the dog was looking right at me when I shot the photo. I’m so happy the photo worked out how it did. It seems …
Colourful Buildings
I love when people paint buildings such fun and bright colours. As you walk down this street it’s not like every building is bright and colourful like this. So when you come across these buildings it’s a refreshing blasts of colour. I also really like how you can see the plants growing out of the …
Mopeds in Mexico
There are a ton of these little Mopeds (gas powered & electric) burning around Playa Del Carmen. We had thought about renting some while we were there. Ultimately we decided not too, just because the roads were a little more wild then what we are used to in Canada haha. Maybe next time though, because …
This Street at Night
This street is a pedestrian only street and day or night it is just packed with people. This one moment is one of the quieter moments I was able to get a picture. In fact I think this is about as quiet as I ever saw it. But trust me, this moment was just a …
Little Black Dog
I walk around the corner one day and there he was. This dog was just sitting on the street in front of someone’s house. I tried to get a couple photos of him, but he seemed like he was a little nervous, so I didn’t want to bother him too much. I hope he lived …
The Tourists
You see a lot of tourist grouped together like this in Mexico. Whenever I see them I always wonder what the occasion for the trip is, what they are doing and who they are to each other and where are they from? It’s none of my business but these are questions that just pop into …
Tiger Painting
I was just walking home (my home for the week that is) one day when I spotted this amazing Tiger painting across the street. I went over and shot a quick few photos. I didn’t want to take much time with this photo because this is actually the entrance to someone’s house and I thought …
