Most of the accommodations here are smaller hotels, bungalows, and self catering type of apartments, hopefully it can keep the same small city feel here that everyone seems to like, including most of the locals.

We did try to find some time each day to relax but that's the time that we did our blog writing and planning and that takes a fair bit of time and can be just as tiring as sightseeing. I think the idea is to spend even more time in one country and then spend about a week in each area rather than just a few days. I don't know how people do it when they do these European tours where they tour 10 countries or so in two weeks!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-54229892031415760312014-11-17T08:50:20.085-05:002014-11-17T08:50:20.085-05:00Yep, it's an eyesore for sure but on the other...Yep, it's an eyesore for sure but on the other hand it brings progress to Mexico including tourism, jobs, suppliers, small business as well as big. That's why I wish the northeast coast of Mexico would get its act cleaned up, we miss our beaches near Barra del Tordo.

We find "touristing" exhausting and always try to build in down time when traveling. The problem is, we seem to require more of that as we get older and it interferes with the itinerary, lol! <br />Good call on the vacation.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051109615463656651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-87192038584782729172014-11-16T22:17:50.756-05:002014-11-16T22:17:50.756-05:00Thanks Ray and Cindy, we have certainly been needi...Thanks Ray and Cindy, we have certainly been needing some relax time and we have been getting it.
