    Question Current Yucatecan food?

    I stay in a small Mayan village in the yucatan now. I used to stay in cozumel. On Saturdays people usually sell lechon and on Sunday cochinita. I know there is a lechoneria there now I have read. My recommendation is ask a local. If you go back past 65th Ave you will see restaurant and houses...

    Changing Covid testing requirements

    Its comments like this that amaze me. This stuff has been going on over a year and people still totally clueless. If you test positive in Mexico all you need is a letter from a doctor saying you have recovered. Testing again is pointless because you can still test positive for 3 months they...

    Ferry luggage scam?

    It's not a scam or desperate employees, they are just following the rules. We have traveled back and forth many times. They won't check scuba gear. We go dive cenotes and they never check our gear. It is normal for them to ask and not check it. Maybe finally doing what they are supposed to but...

    State of Reef

    State of Reef

    It's coming from everywhere unfortunately. Even if all sources in cozumel were stopped with the currents pollution carried everywhere. We get mercury in the Jetstream from Asia how do we stop that? I guess that's why they are trying the global environmental treaties but money always wins. Can...

    State of Reef

    The stuff I'm talking about is in addition to the untreated sewage from the southern hotels affecting the reefs. Isn't that pretty much common knowledge now? There's not much to explain. Excess nutrients cause bacteria growth that effects the reefs. It's happening all over the world. ☹

    State of Reef

    I have been a storm water quality inspector for 18years and I agree with the nutrient loading. I stay back by the sams club and I see so many sources of pollution that can contribute. Soaps from locals cleaning sidewalks and outside of the houses. Restaurants dumping mop water and washing out...

It builds up in the...
