India Travels

By Ian  |  Location: India  |  09/28/06  |  Pics: 0

I went to Tulum in 2004 or 5—with my dad. We traveled most of the Yucatan by then and felt we needed to plant our asses on some beach. After driving up and down the rugged coast we came upon Playa Papaya—a cabana resort for lovers—lovers of good food and drink,...

By Ian  |  Location: Mexico  |  09/21/06  |  Pics: 4
