Vancouver Autumn Means Thoughts of Tropical Places.
As Autumn descends on Vancouver, the rain rolls in, making this already green city all the more green, wet, and cold. While there’s a certain comfort in the environmental vitality that a constant coat of rain on a vividly green patch of land typically brings, it’s the Autumn weather that gets many Vancouverites thinking about a trip someplace hot, with beaches, and expansive views of bright blue skies, sounds of crashing waves and sea-dwelling birds, and the relaxation that only the tropics can provide.
While the east and south coasts have the Caribbean, the Pacific North West has Hawaii and Mexico – both about a 5 hour flight from YVR. The former brings a vintage surf culture and American comforts like Nobu and Louis Vuitton (if that’s your thing); the latter brings at least some level of culture, gated compounds, and federal security on every street corner and highway overpass.
Given the current state of things in Mexico, a tropical trip this year is more likely Hawaii. But nonetheless, I thought I’d post some of the snapshots from our Yucatán Peninsula trip last year. These photos were taken at La Amada, north of Cancun, Hotel Secreto on Isla Mujeres, and in Playa Del Carmen. All spots i highly recommend.
