Why We Love Mexico

Because it's full of color. Because no one is up your butt about dinghy lights or flares. Because siesta is the best concept under the planet. Because it is laid back, chill and there's always mañana. Because there are beaches and clear, turquoise water. Because iguanas fall out of trees. Because it has signs that say "A los pescadores prohibido andar en el area en ropa interior," which loosely translated says "Hey, fishermen, don't come in here wearing only your underpants." Because the people are beautiful and friendly. Because cheap beer and tacos abound, our favorite!

So there might be some burdensome paperwork, but it can't be worse than entering the U.S. as a foreigner these days. And Vlad tells me that there's good dose of corruption, bribery and extreme poverty, too. Nevertheless, the Yucatan has been a joy to explore, and I only wish we could do more of it. So in honor of Isla Mujeres, where we've spent the past week, here's a little photo spread.

Artsy iguana!
