Okay I am not a cruiser. We visited Mexico by way of a cruise ship. We like excursions and typically like to meander. Getting back to the ship in a timely manner proved difficult. We even got lost from our tour so maybe it is us. I do like traveling and vacationing at the same time and seeing the massive ocean from my room. Mexico has the bluest water I have ever seen even surpassing Aruba.
Holy guacamole! So delicious! I discovered for myself that you can mix all Mexican food together and it still tastes great. I am sure I am not the first to realize this.
I found the echoing ability and the calendar aspects of Chichen Itza’s El Castillo part of the Mayan ruins in the Yucatan to be fascinating. And I found it humorous that Yucatan was from the Mayan word Yucatec which when the Spanish arrived the Mayans were replying and it means “I don’t understand what you are saying.”
I think Mexico has some of the better souvenirs if one is tourist shopping or in a hurry trying to catch a ship. :)
