Beloved Mexico

Journeys Across the beautiful country of Mexico. I began SCUBA diving in Cozumel in 1985 and from the frequent urging of friend there, Juan Guzman, I began exploring the Yucatan interior in 2006. This was all the inspiration needed to return for multiple cross-country explorations in the following years. I don't much care for the nightly news, but no one in Mexico has ever given me anything but love and respect. I can't say enough about the rich culture and people of this "so foreign to the US" country.

No Name Cafe - Marketing Strategy

No Name Cafe - Marketing Strategy

After hurricane Wilma when the Barracuda Hotel that I have been staying at for 25 years was recently rebuilt, they added a pool and bar called the No Name Cafe. I at first scorned this place due to the noise and all the people who took over the hotel bea

Return to Celestun

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 nee

Return to Cozumel

Return to Cozumel

The short jaunt around the Yucatan from Holbox to Cozumel requires a bus milk run to Cancun, lunch, a bus to Playa Del Carmen, 2 hour wait for the ferry and arrival in Cozumel. If you are familiar with the latter, see in amazement how the two former smal

Holbox island, Quintanna Roo, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

Holbox island, Quintanna Roo, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

Isla Holbox is a little known island off the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Reminding me a bit of Utila, Honduras, golf carts are the main transportation but the beautiful beach is the main attraction. The city is smaller than Celest

Bus ride - Cancun to Holbox

Bus ride - Cancun to Holbox

Another in my "Google-cam" series, primarily for those who look out the bus window instead of reading, watching TV or sleeping. An excellent insight to the sparse habitation and architecture seen along this hot, dry and tope-laden 90 kilometer

Celestun - Small Fishing Village - Western Yucatan

One of the last of the get away from it all small fishing villages on the Gulf coast is Celestun. About 6,000 people live in this authentic little town, a 3 hour drive west of Merida, Yucatan, Mexico and light years back in time from Cancun.

Campeche - Gulf Coastal City on Yucatan Peninsula

Campeche - Gulf Coastal City on Yucatan Peninsula

As Mexico's largest northern port city on the Yucatan Peninsula, Campeche tries hard to stick to its Colonial roots. Though it seems more modern and slightly less authentic than the central mountainous silver mine cities, it still has its charm.

I reluctantly say goodbye to host Cisco Dietz as he heads for a much deserved beach vacation. I become B&B manager for a week, finishing out both mine and guests Snooky and Bettina for the week while the owner is on vacation. It is both a happy day

Villahermosa

Villahermosa

Villahermosa makes an excellent overnight stop on the way to Campeche. This city is in many ways as cosmopolitan as Puebla, not particularly catering to tourists but with scores of uptown shops including out of the ordinary salsa dress shops and more sho

Road Trip to Teopisca, Chiapas

Road Trip to Teopisca, Chiapas

Just 20KM SE of San Cristobal lies a very small community of Teopisca. Here we would gather wild orchids off fallen timber in the forests lining the mountains nearby this city. On the route we would encounter Zapatistas and a car stuck on the edge of a
