The Mija Chronicles

Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

Off to Tulum!

The beaches of Tulum, as photographed by the Mexican tourism board

Monday’s a Mexican holiday, so Crayton and I are heading out to Tulum for the weekend. It’s a beach area about two hours south of Cancun, famous for its white-powder sand and turquoise water.

Blogging may be light… but when I get back, I’m going to wow you with tales of my homemade granola with black sapote puree. Made some last night as a snack to take with us on our trip, and oh man it was good.

Looking forward to warmth again. Last night I seriously had to cover my face with the sheet and comforter, it was so cold.

      Hi Don Cuevas: It is Nov. 20, but for some reason people are celebrating it with Monday off. (Monday, tomorrow, is the official federal holiday.) The Senate was also considering enacting a “double puente” — meaning we’d get next Friday off too — but then they decided against it. Guess it’s too close to holiday season and it everyone’s itching for more time off. http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/grafico/106806.html
