Reply #50: Cancun is nasty. How someone could compare it to Miami is just bizarre...

but I agree, Merida is lovely... Muchas Colores! The city of many colors. I happened to fall in love with Villadolid as well, the mayan indians, and with the itsy bitsy tiny villages at the topas on the side roads back to the coast. The gorgeous little huts, the palapas, and the cemetaries. We saw some gorgeous cemetaries as we meandered around. They were hypnotic!

It's a shame most north americans have such a narrow view of our american neighbors to the south, but it's probably better that way.

I do so wish too that north americans were educated enough to know that mexicans aren't latinos or hispanic, they're mexican. People from el salvador are el salvadoran, and people from Belize are Belize, and so on. The terms latino and hispanic indicate the conquest by the euros, and deprive mexicans of their heritage, and its actually a genuine insult to the glories of mexicana. Not all people living in mexico were mixed with the euros.

And not all mexicans make tacos.
