Behind the photos: El Amanecer (The Sunrise)

Every time I visit Mexico I discover something new, or am able to see it in a new way. I have fallen in love with this country, and get excited every time I have the opportunity to come here, because no matter how many times I do, I am able to experience in a way I never did the last time I visited.

I had never gotten up to watch the sunrise, and though I am not a morning person, I have to say, it is something worth doing more than once during a visit here, especially if you are on the beach.

There’s a serenity that takes over as you watch the sun creep over the rising tides, a peaceful sense that convinces you that you will are guaranteed to have a great day. Being Playa del Carmen, you might find a straggler or two trying to recover from all the fun had the night before, fishermen scoping out a good area to toss their nets, and hotel employees preparing the area for guests to lounge in later in the day.

Regardless of the activity around me, I was able to take a deep breath as my heart fluttered in delight over the beautiful world in front of me. I so do love Mexico…every place I have visited here makes it more and more so. And this morning of photography helped to capture only one of the reasons why.

We found this spot a few years ago, before we moved to the area full time while at a rental nearby and immediately fell in love with its community and cozy vibe, and delicious coffee. 

It’s even cuter than when we first visited while all the reasons we love it remain. Always worth a stop when in Geneva.
