A great spot about an hour and a half South of Cancun. Taken last week. One of my most favorite places. It snowed this morning here in Colorado so I'm wishing I was still there.

Pretty spot. Hope you didn't bring back the swine flu.

Great shot. My coworker is headed there in a couple weeks. She goes every year. I told her to watch out for the pigs and the drug lords.

I was there last week and never heard a word about swine flu until I got back to the States and it was all over the news.

I saw a few restaurant workers wearing masks in the kitchens but I just assumed it was a health code thing.

This was a cute little beach town just down the road from Cozumel. I'm guessing there are not a lot of drug lords there, unless their on vacation. :wink: I go there at least twice a year and I've never felt the slightest bit uncomfortable. It's a great part of the world.

I'm happy to report that after a week of being back my family and I are still swine flu free, knock on wood, and still alive despite roving gangs of murderous drug lords and killer pigs.

That's why my friend goes there every year. Where did you stay? She always stays at ABR.

I have a friend that owns a house on Akumal Sur. It's South of town just past the second Retourno.

In the shot I'm standing just to the left of the house. It's hidden back in the trees. Pretty nice back yard. :wink:
