I underestimate the time to get to Celestun. It took 6 hours from Campeche due to so many stops of the Merida/Celestun run. At 7:30 I grab dinner at the only open restaurant in town where dogs are also welcomed. Date: 02/27/2010 Views: 35065	Date: 02/27/2010 Views: 7396	A delicious snapper, Veracruz style!

Sunday morning, up to have a beach walk.

The pier looked interesting from a distance. When I arrive I see why the 3 fishermen on the end have stopped fishing!
