¡VIVA MÉXICO!-
Vamos, ¡que México está padrísimo! An amazing trip, one of my all-time favorites. I had been to México before, but only to the border towns (like Tijuana, Acuña, etc.), so this time Luz and I chose to explore the Riviera Maya on the Yucatán Peninsula for nine days. We stayed in Playa del Carmen (about an hour south of Cancún), and from there did day trips to the numerous archeological sites and natural parks that the region has to offer.

An incredible experience, combining the impressive history and architecture of the ancient Mayan civilization with the rich and unique culture of present-day México and its wonderful people (que por cierto, son muy buena onda :) Equally impressive are the flora and fauna of the region, and of course the sublime Caribbean beaches. (I hope to be able to return to this beautiful country in the future when I have more time to dedicate, maybe even live there for a while as I have been looking into various volunteer programs to teach in some small villages near Chiapas, so we'll see...)
