My first restaurant food after coming from India was Mexican and that too burrito trying.
Cabo was the first visit with most remembered was fresh orange juice which is thank god with pulp ( mostly i like fruits , yes but do try things when at place) and was amazing, did some water activities there , small detour to see todo santos for some weaving factory, hotel california and typical Mexican breakfast small store in village ( cheese, beans and tortilla), another first time try out and liked was jasmine water , tamarind water and salsas were of very different kinds. The two towns were very quite places with really hand counted people visible.
Then in later years Puerto vallarta for just some days, the boat to reach waterfalls and river crossing those might be most pointed out things among other. The murals and paintings were amazing. So food wise was quite aware of mexican food options fajitas, tacos and nachos and all time favorite being flan ( very similar to kharvas what we make in India, especially one with saffron.. ymmmmmmmm, been ages eating that, not looks wise but one very close to taste thing one can make is full fat milk boiled with lemon to separate milk fats and add jaggery and cardamam, saffron to it , I come from supra family tree with plenty awesome things eaten growing up, they make anything out of anything) .
Hilarious as it may sound but in Mexican I was learning for past year I got asked plenty times " when R u going to travel to Mexico" Even I was not aware of this some days of thing was going to happen post Colombia. My go to plan, may be plan or not (one can not call it plan as i just do it , don't care kinda) was for something different. Sick of the walls ( well that's for some other time to xxxxxxxxxxxx, Pay for no mistake of yours and who decided? ) Besides I write all these things just for myself.
This time was fun practicing my learnings and its really fun way post colombia to get more speaking practice , one can communicate and understand. "Necesito practicar mi espanol" :) I have my own fun things here..

| Chichen itza |
Pyramids and ancient things and rituals and tribes , well they existed in every country and still do. Its
just that every tribes way is different. At one point travelling in Delphi near first Olympic stadium there is a museum where one can see in that era all around the earth / world what was happening. More than any other history thing that i have ever seen it was really cool way to get the whole picture. The Map should be still there.Wish there was this kind of map about all ancient tribes all around, n'way. May be it exists, not aware of.Driving down the streets one can not imagine behind all these trees are beaches, caves, some
underground rivers and deep holes wells , Cenotes, pyramids and what not . The area is kind of covered with vegetation.

won't call it hiking just some walking around exploring ruins in "Tulum" Nice port city with beautiful beaches and plenty iguanas... Seems to have plenty marine life too.

Missed opportunity was caught in COBA: was when climbed the pyramid and u get the sense, in the footsteps of kings as they would see their land from high up. Its very different than what u see from below.
The site too has many ruins and things spread out.

| Under sea walk |
Just some water things :Was long due since summer.
Jumping in middle of rough ocean with snorkel gear, life vest first time, had done submarine before but was nice with bigger coral reef and plenty marine life to see....
Some other things would be under sea walk (20 ft. below ), nice immersion jet boats glad to run there at last minute and the individual who joined for running. Explored the Mayan village alone, nice place. Seeing wildlife in their own natural habitat is what is most interesting, although i had as a kid fish tank nd later i just hated that concept of confinement (in a way its good for everyone to have an opportunity by visiting zoo or such places to see things but at the same time xxxxx ) The place was really nicely maintained and was complete collaboration of Mexican culture & history right from dances to shows, all around everywhere really beautiful vocals and singers, Mayan villages the things they make and games played and food. Really good experience. |
| Video is nice too |
The 2019 last sunrise walk I did on beach would be a thing to remember , as i did it with remembering 2019 and all things since 2014 ( many morning walks did alone on beach , including afternoons in pools and ocean when was in hotel).....
New year started with ATV ride , night zip/ water zip, some other thing.... Could have done differently yes , may be ....
