Postcard: Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico, 1976

La Playa de San Juan, Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

I know this seriously looks like a Corona Beer advertisement, but I found this postcard this week and I thought it was the perfect antidote to the post-holiday blues. In fact, I'm going to be mixing traditional "winter" postcards with more "tropical/vacation" postcards since, as we know, birds (and rich New Yorkers) fly south for the winter. Thus the ever-popular Cruise and Resort collections created by fashion houses everywhere.

Sent in 1976, this view of Cozumel probably hasn't changed a whole lot. I'll be those chairs are just sitting there waiting for all of us.... And isn't that a lovely thought?
