Fotos de Isla Mujeres en México
I went to an island just 5 miles off Cancún in November for my cousin's wedding. I took a few pics, so if you'd like to see them they're in my Flickr, which can be found here.
It was a lot of fun. I had a good time snorkeling, hanging out on the beach, and just relaxing. Went to go see some cool Mayan ruins, too (Chichén Itzá) which was exciting. The only thing I didn't like too much was the area was too "American." Everybody spoke English and sold American products at American prices (or higher). I guess that's the way things are in a touristy spot where Americans frequently visit. I'd like to go to a part of Mexico that's not like that, someday. I wasn't very happy when I saw all those Ritz-Carltons and Hiltons along the beach in Cancún, because I know they are making a killing with unfair wages and charging high prices. Oh well.

And I'd like to visit some of the touristy places in Mexico. Pretty much the only places I've been are totally non-touristy, where you can eat a full lunch for $30-50 pesos ($3 to 5 USD).
Great pics. I don't have time to comment on all of them, but I like the sand, palm trees, ruins and everything else. Anyway, this should be motivation enough for me to plan a trip to Cancún. BTW, did your cousin have to do any special paperwork to get married in Mexico? How did that work?

I think they did all the paperwork in the US before going down there, and just did the ceremony part in Mexico.

Neat pictures.......unfortunately yes, it does all look so "Americanized". Good thing you can't americanize the Mayan ruins!
I like the "cheaper than Wal-Mart" sign. Elaina |

Yeah, I thought that was funny. Unfortunately, they really weren't cheaper than Wal-Mart. Haha.
Also, I really miss the awesome chicken fajitas...with fresh pico de gallo.

I like the incongruity between the breakfast and dinner times in this photo.
Oh, and btw, I never did find the cheaper than walmart one...

Thanks Zach... and it´s even in English.
The following picture is pretty neat too, the low bridge/don't hit your head sign. It's pretty necessary too, as there are lots of low doorways etc in Mexico.
