I am burnt. A girl in my room assures me that it{s not burnt-burnt, it{s turn-into-a-tan-burnt.

Tulum is Cancun without any people. Actually the water is calmer and warmer but just as blue. There seem to be more topless women, but the beach is really deserted. I sat on a hammock and then in the shade in a lawn chair ALL DAY and read some book about Cuba.

Everything costs twice as much as anywhere else I{ve been. But I{m able to feel superior to the week-vacationers. Example - I wanted to buy a sarong to lie on. I asked the man how much it is. A girl buys a sarong for that price. Then after she left I bargained him down a third of the price. Sucker. :)
