Description
I suspect the little boats on the seaside at Playa del Carmen bore the names of someone's loved ones, perhaps the boat owner's daughters. But who knows for sure. Without asking, it's only a guess.
Either way, I passed by the little boat Catarina several days straight and by the end, she became one of the many inhabitants of the beach, waiting to earn her keep for the day taking people out on the sea.
The skies on my last day in Playa del Carmen were so dramatic and border-line dreamy that I forgave the days of rain and storms. Those dark clouds over the Caribbean sea were the remnants of a storm that had drifted lazily over during my stay. And I've always preferred dramatic cloud-filled skies over clear blue ones. That dramatic sky and the sea seem to meet so very far away from the little boat on the beach, don't they?
Catarina would be pretty no matter what. Her weather worn paint has character and her color pops even more against the otherwise cool hues of that afternoon on the beach. Magic...
