Signs of Life in Tulum, Mexico

(Click on image to navigate through slideshow.) If you love hand painted signs as much as I do, Mexico is a kind of paradise. Especially in rural areas and less commercial neighborhoods, the work of sign artists is everywhere, from the front of tiny bodegas to restaurants, schools, and even homes. I love these signs so much because they are really signs of life, artifacts that tell a small story about their creators and the places in which they live. Here's a sample of the signage shots I took on our recent trip to Tulum, on the Tucatan Peninsula about 100 kilometers south of Cancun. I hope you enjoy them.
