The Honeymoon, Part 2: Shows and Tourist Traps

Every night, our hotel put on a free show. On our second night, the show was a Michael Jackson themed show, and had Mexican performers dancing and lip synching to Michael Jackson songs. The main performer did a good job of looking like MJ. I believe for these pictures they were dancing to "Thriller."

We spent the day in the town of Playa del Carmen, a nice little touristy beach town. We walked along Avenida Cinco where all the tourists go.

Here is a shot from the street.

All the tourists on the street.

For lunch, we ate at Senor Frogs, which was on this fantastic beach.

It was an exhausting day, so Allison came back and put our jucuzzi tub to good use.

All said, I really liked Playa del Carmen. We discovered later in our honeymoon the non-touristy parts and I really liked the town. I would definitely stay there in the town, eat the local cuisine, and go to the beach. It was definitely a fantastic little Mexican town.

And here's a sunset to cap the night off.
