Camera #179: Playa del Carmen

April 6, 2009

So, I’ve been really bad at updating the blog with all of the new things that have been happening, but, this post will be the beginning of fixing that. I know, I’ve been bad, please forgive me!

While I was in Mexico, I went to Playa del Carmen, a resorty beach city, near Cancun, but smaller. The day before leaving, I realized that I had yet to place a camera in the city I spent a week in… whoops!

The busiest area, with the most foot traffic, and hopefully the most success of getting someone to pick up the camera and do something with it, is Avenida 5, the main tourist drag. There a bunch of benches along the avenida, so, I walked up and down, trying to find the right one. It had to be in an area with enough people walking by that someone would notice it, and, also not already occupied. I finally resorted on placing Camera #179 on a bench near Calle 6 Sur.

Camera #178: The First Mexican Camera

March 13, 2009

Well, I’ve been on my vacation in Mexico for almost two weeks now, and I’ve only placed one camera! I decided to get the letter translated into Spanish to, hopefully, help the success rate. And, I also had some internet issues, which caused some additional delays. But, on Wednesday, I finally got a chance to place one.

Camera #178 was placed in Cancun, on a bench in the Plaza La Isla – a large outdoor mall, on the ocean with its own Aquarium, complete with dolphin shows.

My plan is to place another 4 cameras while I’m here. Hopefully that means that I’ll get at least one of those back.
