CHAPTER 35...around the world cont.

ISLA MUJERS
CANCUN, MEXICIO.......My first trip to Cancun was right after the hurricane had devastated the island......The big hotels which line the beach looking like the modern city of Hawaii......had no beaches left and many pools were filled with debris.......many roads were washed out.   WESTERN TRAVEL paid for my friend Ann and I to go see if there was anything left of the city to send tourist too.....everything was competed once we got there.  We did not stay in a fancy hotel but a smaller one in the middle of town.......which was great as we like to shop in the market. Cancun is a closer Hawaii ........man made city......to the U.S. and a very popular and reasonable place for Americans to vacation with great beaches and good food and music. Ann and I took two side trips one to ISLA MUUJERS (the island of women where pirates keep their women stashed) and we spent a couple of nights in the resort of ACUMAL......a very popular area to scuba dive in.  I loved our quiet visit there where we were about the only guests, it is popular also because it is close to the big ruins of CHICHEN NITZA.  We took a boat trip to Isla Mujers.......we enjoyed the beach and shopping up and down the dusty roads of the little village......nice restaurnts
