Deidre in Mexico

Hi from CANCUN down the southern tip of mexico. I am now living down here in this place of great beauty with the Carribean Sea and white sands, and of great ugliness with the development, influences from the USA with fast food outlets, colonisation of the views of the ocean and acess to the beach by enormous hotels and a general atmosphere of hedonism. Uni students flock here for their spring break and the effects for the rest of us females as these puerile and disrespectful visitors shamelessly debauch themselves, is that we are also included in the same category. I will wait till end of April when I am due to take a short trip out of Mexico (possibly Cuba) and then think about moving on.
The positive things are, there are some places or oases of calm, a hostel here or there, a leafy garden, some outlying suburbs with real people doing real things, and when you can get to it, the ocean. I went for a first scuba dive on Cozumel Island and been over to Isla Mujeres. I have a little apartment which is fresh and airy and light, on the top floor and gets sea breezes. Much English is spoken here, so speaking less Spanish.
The new Calenda Oaxaca restuarant is a haven on beauty in that garish and sensually assaulting zone of the hotel region. Hope you are all well, Deidre
