Mexico , Country of contrasts

Well, we are way behind on our blogging and out of sequence. Ah well beggars can´t be choosers. Mexico for us started in Playa del carmen on the Carribean and ended in Mexico city. In between was some of the best times we have had so far. Our introduction was odd. A beach side resort town was not a true introduction to the Mexican way of life. In fact there weren´t any real mexicans working there and was full of tourists. Once we moved on to the Yucatan Peninsula now that was different. The Mayan cities we were fortunate to see were so incredible.so much work has been done to restore the old cities and they have done it well. They need more of to come to see so more money can be used to discover rebuild and make available for us to see such inspiring sites such as Palenque. More tourists should go to these places rather than the beach resorts. We saw old colonial towns . Saw many cowboys. The best experiences we had culturally were visiting the villages.To see first hand their living standards and how proud they are of their traditions. Lastly Mexico City. Everyone we have spoke to said not to go there too long . Once again the weather played a huge part in our enjoyment. Well it was a surprise package. From so many museums... we actually did not go to many , to ¨The day of the dead ¨ , what a great experience! we will miss the people the food and the extra ordinary experiences we had there. Hasta la vista baby as the wannabe next president of the states said.
