Cancún aka: Cancun

I went to Cancun when I was fifteen with the Spanish Club from my school for Spring Break. I went to the Hard Rock Cafe, we toured Chichen Itza and Uxmal, and also explored the city of Merida. For most of the trip, I just wanted to go home. It was way too hot, all the tours of the Mayan ruines were on foot in 100+ degrees, which is less fun that it might sound, and the food wasn’t very good down there either. Cancun was kind of like a city here, very American. Tourist city. The beach was pretty, the water is a different shade of blue there and the sand is white. It was kind of cool laying on the beah for a little while, the staff from the resorts along the shore come out to you and take drink orders and then bring them back to you. But I seriously would rather have watched a special on the Mayans on the History Channel or National Georgraphic than actually gone there in person and suffered through the heat.

This isn’t authentic mexico but it’s warm, pretty clean (at least the ocean area) and easy to navigate. Stay away from the local bazaar – this will give you a bad taste of mexico. take the time to see Tulum and/or Chitzen Itza – they are amazing.

it was great i went a week

I’m going this weekend, anyone recommend anything?

Lucky to make it back alive.
