So we now arrived via Cancun in Tulum, which is a much nicer place just south along the coast. We are staying in a cabin on the beach with tropical warm sea water and pure white power sand beach. Hanging in your hammock it feels like paradise and hey!: this IS paradise and only day 2 of our trip.
After dinner on the beach we had a terrific full moonrise and the following morning early a sunrise which must be surely one of the best in the world. No wonder the mayas had a temple right here on the beach... Very tempted to stay here for ever, but we have places to go to.

Houston in one day

We are on our way to Mexico and stayed the night in Houston, actually just outside the George Bush Airport in a Springhills Suite - which was very convenient. We will be back in a couple of weeks to see the town in more detail. This control center at the airport was fun already.

Listing on a Desert Island

One of the best things of long flights is that you are able to really listen to longer programing again without any distraction (that is except when the crew comes along with something to nibble or drink). One of my favorite past times at 10.000 feet is listening to the podcasts of DID with Kristy Young. Always interesting guests and the best feature: because of rights reasons the audio clips of the discs themselves is limited to 30 seconds or so. That way you get the idea without the whole stuff.  This is probably the very best way to listen to DID :-)

Still going strong...

Our Rimowas suitcases are really battered of all the traveling all around the world during the last years - but they are still going strong (in all sense of the words). It actually seems that the more used they are - the better they look.

hmmm...

Gaston is how much years old already?

So I am gathering all kind of reading and listening stuff to take with me in my iPad for the vacation and long flights. Because Gaston is already 57 years old it is time to re-reading his adventures. Luckily there are enough CBR files to get and to read in as a e-comic.

True Detective Series

Just downloaded the first couple of episodes of this new HBO series "True Detective" which everyone advises me to watch. I guess we have to wait till after our Mexico vacation. The storyline and actors though look very promising.
