When one conjures up thoughts of vacationing in the Rivera Maya, you think of and can find pictures on the Internet of pristine beaches filled with tourists, beach chairs, tables of drinks, appetizers and swimming pools near the ocean. I think you have the picture in your head. BUT, for the local Mexicans, Sunday is their beach day! It is beach day for the entire family. On Sunday, the Mexicans love to go to the beach with coolers filled with pop and beer, blankets, some with folding tables and lots of food. It is pure enjoyment to see the Mexicans enjoying THEIR day. In Playa Del Carmen, past the notarious Mamitas beach, you will eventually find the colossal beach. On occasion, Alfredo and I have got up at 7AM to go to this popular beach with the local Mexicans. Families are there early playing in the waves and water. It is a pure pleasure for me. The photos were taken on a Sunday.
