Pardon my lengthy absence from the blog — I’ve just returned from vacation in Cancun. I didn’t spend much time studying human settlement patterns — I was happy to spend most of my time in the Club Med compound, and there was nothing about Cancun, which was first developed only 30 years ago, that struck me as worth seeing. However, we did take one day trip to Chitzen Itza, the magnificent Maya ruins, and stopped briefly in the charming colonial town of Valladolid on the way back to Cancun.

Welcome Back Jim. You ..have been missed.

Valladolid is fine place for a de-gringoized vacation. Close to Chichen and Cobah is a bit farther down through the selva.
I think there’s now a straight shot from Valladolid to Chetumal and Belize.

Obligatory cathedrals and mararitas.
My kind of place.
Hope you had a good one.

Lack of culture in Cancun?
Have you ever heard of Senor Frog’s?
Hundreds of drunk Americans and Europeans guzzling beer from gigantic glass containers?
You’d trade that for cathederals?

Yo, Bacon!
Friend of mine went to some of those places. He drank too much tequila and signed a contract to buy property.
Then he spent the rest of his holiday with a Mexican lawyer trying to un-buy the property.
True story! You got off easy.Peter Galuszka
