Beach Fun-10-72Jason and Chase share the same side.

Beach Fun-9-72Too much sun in the heat and humidity of the day can lead to heat stroke,
which is what happened to Jason. After playing several hours with much younger players
and possibly not staying hydrated enough, Jason (48 years young)
had to be taken to the hospital for a short stay. He was much better the next day.

State Of The Blues — Fotofest 2002 Revisited   Leave a comment

Going through some old photos, I found some I took at a 2002 Fotofest event, State of the Blues.
Since we were recently in Houston visiting family, I thought this would be an appropriate time to revisit the State of The Blues.

A Jungle Excursion   Leave a comment

Lizards-8-72After a few days on the beach, the jungle on down the shoreline peaked my interest,
so I left the beach scenery for the jungle scenery.

Lizards-6-72It wasn’t long before the shoreline became challenging big boulders alone the shore inhabited by a lot of lizards.
(Note the lizard on the near boulder.)

Lizards-5-72As I climbed over the boulders I kept looking for a path into the jungle. 

Lizards-7-72Finally there was an opening, but not much of a path.

Jungle-72In addition to thick growth and debris, there was a fence adding to my passage into the jungle.
Other than seeing a lot of lizards, my attempt to go into the the jungle on my own was uneventful.
So, I headed back to the beach scene.

Xplor Park In The Mayan Jungle   Leave a comment

Xplor-9-72.jpgOne of our family group experiences while at Playa del Carmen was spending a day at Xplor Park.
Climbing all the zip-line towers in the heat and humidity was a challenge.
But, we were able to cool off in the underground river activities.
