Well, what can I say about Cancun? It is a bit too touristy for any of our likings. We did run into a cabbie there though that made the day pretty darn nice. I will have to get his name from my brother and then I will post it on here at a later time. He met us at the dock and took us for a tour of the sites that you wont see in Cancun. He took us to the areas where a lot of the locals live and they live in conditions that most of us would deem as unlivable. He took us through an area where mostly Mayans live and told us how they rarely get over 5 feet tall. He took us to a roadside stand in the heart of old Cancun and we stopped and bought fresh orange juice that this Mayan lady was making. She would squeeze the juice and then put it in plastic bags and then she would slide a straw into the bag and tie it off. It was the best Orange Juice I had ever had and it was only 1 buck a bag. He took us to a set of Mayan ruins that was at the top of the peninsula and not too far from the cruise ships. It was a fascinating place and we were the only ones there. It was not all that large, maybe 20 buildings, but it was perfect for us to explore. Then he took us to Old Cancun and dropped us off at this old mall. Everyone there bartered a lot. If you don’t like the price just walk out the door and it falls dramatically. Then it was back to the ship….
