By the time we were done at Tulum the lines (and the crowds) had become much larger.

Roof pillars. These were not tall people.

You can see clearly the height of the first floor of this building. The thatch is protecting a mural on the second floor.

Water bikes were cute, but impractical (way too much work)
-
Picnic area?

All it's missing to make the commercial is the beer...

The next resort north of Barceló

There was certainly no lack of beach

Stairs to nowhere

A slanted walkway leads up to worn pillars and a door to the inside of this building (we couldn't go up there).

Early sunset on the beach

Sailing and kayaking were very popular

"Tulum" means "walled city"

Looking NW from the beach access.

More interesting worn stairs.

There were lots of other touristas.

They really mean, "walled city". This is the entrance and this wall used to be 15 feet high.

I just can't get over how short they were.

They did an excellent job of creating complex forms like these curved cornices.
