Ah, las ruinas. If you ever get to Palenque, Chiapas, which I highly recommend doing, ask for Mo¡ses Morales - he owns a little lodge named El Panch n, the best place imho to stay at Palenque, a 10-peso cab ride, 3 peso en colectivo, from Palenque, and a 10-minute walk from las ruinas. Palenque was the religious capital of the Mayan empire for a while, and Mo¡s is the grand old man of the local guides and archeological groups, he has guided the heads of state of a variety of nations, including France and Japan. He speaks at least eight languages, including enough Japanese to get by, and trained in the US Air Force in '44/'45 at Brownsville, Texas, though he was born mejicano. Never got overseas, though, the war ended too soon. Ask him about la cantina de Raybel. I owe him a large debt of gratitude, as he introduced me to my current and favourite wife, a mayita. He gets a mention here boss-inc.com

Turboe, Coba and Tulum were great. Also Chichen Itza. (Tastes Like Chichen Itza would like it there.) You could almost feel yourself transcending the centuries back to when those sites were inhabited by the Mayans. Did you get to go swimming at Tulum? Did you see any of the big cats at Coba? We didn't see the cats, nor did we go swimming, but we did get some fantastic pictures of the "killer bee" hives at Coba. We also liked Xcarat, underground snorkeling and stuff. KJC
