C 2 C, SEE??

Yesterday seemed like the final sprint of this trip. Up and out of Merida early on a 5-hour bus ride through ancient Mayan areas to the made-up zone of Cancun. Scenic views overwhelmed by 4 nonstop gratingly loud movies on bus. Had to take a frantic taxi on next leg, like on TV's The Amazing Race.  Time made up, we jumped a local crowded collectivo minivan to a farflung ferry dock. Schlepped onto ye good olde truck ferry for crossing to Isla Mujeres. I have been coming here for 33 years, with Pat for 15. Despite continuous degradation by so-called "development", it still has beautiful clear waters.

Old favourite diner called "Poc Chuc" serves up belly-busting' Mexican specialty. Old favourite Hotel Carmelina recognizes me as "amigo!" and we crash for the night. We have completed crossing Mexico from the Pacific Ocean over the mountain ranges to the Caribbean Sea in the last 59 days. C 2 C, See? Si, Si!
