Return to Celestun

Making good on my 5 year long promise to attend friend Juan Guzman's daughter, Alejandria's, Quienceanara this weekend, I hop aboard a cheap flight to Cancun where I grab the day long string of buses to reach the remote fishing village of Celestun. I need to unwind for a few days and there is no better location than here.

The main street of the city sees only a truck or motorcycle pass by every 15 minutes or so. Date: 07/21/2011 Views: 1825	Date: 07/21/2011 Views: 2114	It's fun but so hot here. This will be my last trip here during the dead of summer. Still it beats the heat of Texas any day. Date: 07/21/2011 Views: 1717
Another fabulous meal. This time poc-chuk, the same Yucatan dish I had back in Merida. They do a fantastic job with it here as well as in the larger cities of the Yucatan.

John is disappointed that my visit has been so short. He sends the waiter to me with a beer and we walk to the back patio to discuss his past occupations. A salvage yard manager in Brownsville, a restaurant manager in Uruguay and many other escapades.

All along my journeys I can't help but think of my mom and how much she would enjoy seeing some of the things I do. I always wish for her but I can take a lot of photos to send back home.

At the same time I wish for my own auto to stop and explore, capturing more meaningful photos. Maybe one day soon. Date: 07/22/2011 Views: 1768
