This spring break I went to mexico. We stayed in a town about 2 hours south of cancun called akumal. Things are very different there, such as: No change, No ice, governemnt owned gas, everything is in km, currency is pesos, and many peoples homes are unfinished just cinder block. On our last night we were leaving to go to the airport in cancun and we hit a speed bump at 80 km/h about 48 miles per hour our little fiat adventure went flying we got a few feet of air. All I can say is its good to be home.

Well I wouldn't mind a trip to Mexico , maybe not Cancun there are too many tourists there. I enjoy things when they are different, it takes you away from the daily routine and it makes you realize how happy we are in our rich countries. It makes our daily complaints insignificant.
