... teeth, lots of gold, bright pink nail varnish, has a crinkly 60 year old boyfriend in tow (boyfriend is her word not mine) and she has lots of volume with arms wailing madly at each mention of skulls or blood, (which is quite often). I mention to the daughter that I find her mum hilarious, she mentions I would not find it hilarious if it that was my mother, I agree with her. Awkward pause. <br>This rain and wind is just crazy ...

After four days of tourist hell, we move to Cozumel for some peace. We don't find it. The streets are just as much of a gauntlet, its just as tacky and just as expensive. Again we decide to try diving and after speaking to a few dive shops go with EcoDivers, they seem pleasant in the shop and pricewise are very favourable. Big mistake. If Mexico Blue Dream is the best dive shop we&#8217;ve used yet, Eco Divers is the worst. We turn up and they ...

... but we feel safe in her hands and she has the most eagle eyes ever for spotting cool stuff. We do two sea dives, both have very strong currents, in fact it&#8217;s the first day in four that the boats have been allowed to go out due to sea conditions. Despite the currrent, and the bad visability, we see many eels, two lionfish, huge lobster and a damn big crab I woudn&#8217;t like to surprise.<br><br>The next day, still ...

... back in Boston. It´s sad to say, but I think it´s the first HI hostel I´ve ever stayed at...so much for supporting our fellow hostels. But the receptionist, Rafael was quite happy to hear I worked for the same company back home and asked me to write an evaluation for his boss so that they might improve and attract more business. So in the early morning hours of December 31st, I decided to catch a bus to Playa del Carmen, where I would board a ferry to ...

... lot about Mayan culture for having been here, Allow me to explain : San Juan Chamula is a purely Mayan town. It is self governing taking only the federal laws it likes and ignoring the others! The town is governed by its own political and religious leaders. The former being paid positions the later voluntary and taken for the honor of the position and the respect that come with it. its a costly business being a religious leader. ¨During your year of service you have to give ...
