Art Festival in Playa del Carmen

Today, Abel and I went perusing around 5th street to view the many performances of the art festival!  (Can I just say that I LOVE art festivals!!??)  :)

A little rain deterred a few spectators, but I'm really glad we stuck it out because we had a great evening!  Quinta Avenida was bustling with families and couples perusing the paintings of dozens of local artists and shuffling from performance to performance.  We saw balancing acrobats, face painters, flirtatious clowns, human statues, musicians by candlelight, belly dancers and skeletons on stilts. 

Here are a few pictures from the evening:

  2. Yeah- I was living in Playa del Carmen for the last two months; just BEAUTIFUL!

    I don't think I've ever done a 2.5 month tour like you, but it's not all said and done yet. ;)
