What to do - Mexico version

Taking a trip with my girl to Playa del Carmen on Saturday and was wondering if anyone had any "must sees" while we are there. I've been to Mexico 3 or 4 times but can't remember if I have actually been to Playa or not. I know I was in Cozumel and Cancun a couple times but tequila tends to make trips to Mexico a bit fuzzy.

 

Anyway, I've been fortunate to do some pretty cool things in Mexico like cliff diving, jungle exploration, lots of snorkling in some really remote locations, but I am sure there are other things that I might want to do. Are the Mayan ruins worth seeing? Tour or start my own tequila company? Join a Mexican drug cartel for a day?...etc.... 

 

Edit * - And yes I know there is a Cyclone forming over that area right now but I am trying to pretend it's just going to go away.

If you've never tried scuba, they usually have 1hr courses in hotel pool as a prerequisite if you don't have any license. Definitely worth the experience if you've never done it before. Some even offer suba tours where you catch your own food and there is a chef waiting at beach to cook whatever you catch.

All, my cousins have rented Jeeps and gone out exploring over the terrain off road and had a great time. I've seen videos where they rent souped up dune buggies also, I did that on my last trip to Dubai out in desert and it was amazing fun, you should check into that.

Zip line tours were really fun too if you like flying through jungle on a wire!

Been to several of the Mayan ruins... but I find them fascinating.

Swimming in the cenotes

We also try to get off the neaten path and try some real taquieras, small neighborhood food places, markets and find the places the locals frequent.

If you're genuinely interested in the people, they are very friendly and will do anything for you.

I'd try to find this place, per Mad Hatter in another thread:

 

 

There is a little bar in Cozumel Mexico that does this for drinks.

If a woman is willing to show her tits and let them take a picture of them (they put the polaroids in a book that sits on the bar), they hey get several free drinks. 

They even have a judge.....there is a parrot at the bar that whistles and gives a 1-10 rating when they flash them.

Pretty funny to see.

drink and screw

 

 

go snorkelling...and by all means, if you are fortunate enough to come across a whale shark in your travels....get the hell in the water with it.  Missed this opportunity last time I was there for lack of brains!!!  damn it

 

there's a turtle sanctuary south of Playa...can't remember the name...and it's right close to the reef...so you snorkel with the fishes and the turtles...pretty cool

 

scuba if you want to get adventurous.

nice. playa del carmen is uber commercialized but it's a lot better than cancun. still you'll want to escape the touristy feel and get out in the country... the ruins at tulum are a good bet. bus trips are cheap and numerous; you'll want to get there as early as possible, as the crowds are the worst i've encountered at any archaeological ruins in the americas. worse than machu picchu, if you can believe that.

 

the cenotes are a cool idea, especially if it's hot out (which it will be.) is this sort of a backpacking trip or more of a stay-in-the-resort type of trip? if you're feeling adventurous you could take an overnight visa trip down to belize, but if you're limited on time you may want to save it. i'd skip cozumel too... great if you're trying to get wasted and laid and buy cheap tourist poo and pose for "authentic" tourist experiences a la dat alice and all of his cloying anecdotes, but other than that it's barren of any real attraction.

 

in playa you'll have no lack of things to do. there's a cool ass sports bar at the corner of calle 4 nte and 20 av. sur iirc... pool tables, great food, great vibe. i hope it's still there, that was over three years ago.

 

have fun!

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
