TULUM, WHERE THE JUNGLE MEETS THE SEA

i'm so excited to finally share some of my photos from tulum, and a few of my recommendations for those who are planning a trip there!  what took me so long, you ask?  sometimes when i travel i become so consumed with the experience that i have a really hard time getting motivated to photograph.  and then i come home and kick myself over all the photos i didn't take.  it all started with a three week trip to thailand in 2001 where i shot only one roll of film. 36 PICTURES IN THREE WEEKS!  but i remember that trip still, so vividly, and i think it's in large part because i was just really soaking it in.  i wasn't consumed with trying to get it on film so i could remember every little detail, i was just IN IT, you know what i mean?  so it's this conflict i have now when i travel, and i struggle with striking a balance.  but enough about that.... tulum awaits!  {more after the jump}

TULUM, i miss you already

hello everyone!  i'm back from tulum (equal parts happy and sad!).  this morning i woke up next to my husband, which was amazing as he's been all over the country and world the past few weeks while i was also away.  it felt like we were a million miles apart and there's nothing sweeter than a reunion with the ones you love (and being showered in kisses from pups who also feel as if you've been gone for a lifetime).  i'll be sharing bits of my tulum visit with you soon and hopefully some of lou's photos from tokyo as well!  i'm also really looking forward to getting back into the kitchen!  i'm so inspired by the food we ate, so will be posting lots of food recipes in the upcoming weeks.  basically what i'm getting at is... I'M BACK AND IT'S GOING TO BE EXTRA FUN AND YUMMY AROUND HERE!!!!  xx- sarah
