Tulum

TULUM a fortress on the cliffs, smiles down at the paradisaical Riviera Maya. iguanas, reside in ruins, overlooking the Caribbean sea, sitting pretty for photographs. long gone from old world - sacrifice and fear, Mayan riches and power, of Playa del Carmen. iguanas rest, play tourist peek-a-boo, never give thought nor sorrow, to the people of yesteryear. we don’t fear their reptile existence, their abundance, nor daunting size, perched upon impressive buildings - an ancient city of life and death, good and bad, repainted by the critical sun.
