Enjoying a week in the sun.....at least mostly sun! The sound of waves coming to shore, palm trees, white sand. Akumal is a lovely, quiet town....we walk or bike everywhere. No high rise buildings.....not the place to go if you are seeking a busy night life. But if you want to look out at sunrise over the ocean and walk off the beach to snorkel....it is perfect.
Except for the TV stations we get. The TV isn’t on very much....but we have been able to find “The Today Show” for a bit of morning news. And we are used to commercials in the US.....but believe me.....the commercials down here are somewhat different and LONG! We get about five minutes of the show...and then a ten minute onslaught of commercials. And the commercials repeat and repeat and repeat.....and most of them seem to have something to do with soccer. Announcers exclaiming about upcoming games, and local teams etc. etc. etc. Then we get a glimpse of upcoming dramas on SKY TV....and the comedies to watch.....and the movies you can rent. The same information over and over, every morning for seven days.
Well.....at least they don’t advertise pharmaceuticals.........
