Between that and the Aventuras construction being finished it only takes half hour to get to Playa again :) The bridge over to Akumal pueblo is now complete and they've taken the topes out on the highway as well. Dangerous, you ask? No, they have put a fence in the middle of the hwy to force people to use the walk over. Amazing. I’m so happy they took that tope out!

The outfit is called a ghi not a kimono. Husband has a brown belt and used to teach, 30+years ago , way before he met me. I never got past the yellow belt because I got transferred to another town at work. I love the tope they put in front of my house, it's been ages since we had an accident on our corner, there used to be one every 15 days before the tope! People actually stop at the stop sign now! regards, Theresa I did judo years ago, it’s a great sport. The outfit is called a ghi not a kimono.
