Well, this is it! My time in Mexico for MARVET is
officially over. The last several days went so quickly starting Saturday!
Although I didn’t love every minute of this trip, I loved most of them and
that’s what counts! I’m glad the rain finally let up and went away because it
was really getting on my nerves by day 5.
My roommate and I got up at 8:30a to finish getting
things together and to get breakfast before leaving. I had super yummy French
toast with bacon for breakfast – wish I had discovered that sooner! Afterwards,
we finished getting her ready to go to the ferry to Cozumel for her flight
home. My last adventure in Mexico was finding the post office to mail post
cards. The guy at the front desk told me to go to the corner of 20th
and 2nd and there I would find the mail center, so after I walked my
roommate to the ferry, I headed off to find the post office. When I arrived,
all I saw was a drop box. Not helpful as I needed stamps first! Begrudgingly
and confused, I began heading back towards the hotel to re-explain my request.
One block up, I ran into a travel agency. Lucky for me, he spoke English and I
was able to explain my predicament. He told me that it was a bright pink
building on the right and that I couldn’t miss it, so I tried again. Sure enough,
it’s bright pink! I missed it because it’s not much of a store, and it had no
identifying markings on the outside that I could see from the sidewalk. 150
pesos later, all of my cards have been mailed!
Next up was finalizing my packing plans. It didn’t take
me too long to get everything in order, so I ran back out for a few last minute
pictures. There is a beautiful statue on the beach that I had hoped to get a
good picture of during my trip and I managed to get an excellent shot as there
were few people hanging around so early in the day. Playa doesn’t really start
to get busy until mid-afternoon.
I am finally headed to the airport to catch my flight.
Several of my groupmates and I caught the ADO bus to the airport, an easy and
efficient way to travel and very close to our hotel! To think that 2 weeks ago
I stepped off that bus and went the wrong way while touring the city a bit!
Time to say goodbye – it’s been a great MARVET trip Playa
Del Carmen 2013!
