Note to self

Cancun is a cheap city to fly into, however if you are adventurous and on a budget consider the 6 hour bus ride down to Chetumal for an adventure in Belize. Once in Belize in Corozal Town, consider a trip to Orange Walk Town if you like bird watching.To get to Orange Walk Town take a cab to the ''New market'' where the buses that come to Belize Park and there get on a bus to Orange Walk Town. If it’s about 4 PM get a taxi (you should not pay more than 80.00 Mexican pesos) to the Mexican Border and there wait for a bus to Orange Walk Town. You can also get to Flores (Guatemala) from here.

Day of the Dead

[from en.wikipedia.org]: The Day of the Dead is a holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1 and 2, though other days, such as October 31 or November 6, may be included depending on the locality. The multi-day holiday involves family and friends gathering to pay respects and remember friends and family members who have died. These celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember amusing events and anecdotes about the departed. It is widely observed in Mexico, where it largely developed, and is also observed in other places, especially by people of Mexican heritage. The observance falls during the Christian period of Allhallowtide. Some argue that there are Indigenous Mexican or ancient Aztec influences that account for the custom, though others see it as a local expression of the Allhallowtide season that was brought to the region by the Spanish; the Day of the Dead has become a way to remember those forebears of Mexican culture. The Day of the Dead is largely seen as having a festive characteristic.
