Our last morning on Isla Mujeres we set the alarm for 5am, so we could have the beach to ourselves and watch the sunrise.

It was wonderful to catch a breeze just after my shower, before the sun had a chance to fill the sky. I made fresh footprints in the sand.

I brought a fun 35mm film camera called a <a href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062YNVL8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0062YNVL8&linkCode=as2&tag=traveltracks-20″>LomoKino</a><img src=”http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=traveltracks-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0062YNVL8″ width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ alt=”” style=”border:none !important; margin:0px !important;” /> with me.

It’s essentially a 35mm movie camera. When you get these rolls processed, your images are turned into short films. Each roll is under a minute long, so it can get pricey if you are trying to make a feature film.

You may have seen my post on White Sands National Monument, where I shot a music video for my band, All in the Golden Afternoon, using the <a href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062YNVL8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0062YNVL8&linkCode=as2&tag=traveltracks-20″>LomoKino</a><img src=”http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=traveltracks-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0062YNVL8″ width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ alt=”” style=”border:none !important; margin:0px !important;” />.

I’ve been daydreaming about Isla Mujeres all weekend. I’ve never been to a place that made me not mind sweating. I’ve figured out how to experience the island so I don’t lose my mind in the heat and I can’t wait to go back.

What destination are you daydreaming about? I would love to hear about it in the comment section below!

May your journey be your muse,

Rachel
