The images presented were taken in the 1990's. Taken as prints, there is degradation when going from print to digital images. Also, where we were traveling sometimes delayed processing for weeks or months and humidity played havoc with the undeveloped film. Still, I wanted to share our experiences through the pictures we took.

May 1992. From Belize, we continued to head north to the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. Our destination was Isla Mujeres and would be our last stop before heading to Florida and the U.S. A part from the wonderful funky, island life that Isla Mujeres offered, it was also a short ferry ride to Cancun and the mainland. Ultimately, we wanted to travel inland to Chichen Itza, an interesting, beautiful Mayan ruins site. Once we scoped out how to do that, we got money, showed up at the place in Cancun where we caught the bus to Valladolid, a small town near Chichen Itza, three hours away, and off we went. For not have a lot of "intell," the trip went smoothly. We were really impressed with Valladolid and enjoyed spending time around the main square.  Streets of Isla Mujeres. We liked this place. It was touristy in '92, can't imagine what it is like today in 2021. We waited here for good weather to make the crossing to Florida and the U.S.  May 1992. Valladolid main square or zocolo  May 1992. Valladolid main square May 1992. We were here to see the ruins, so we showed up where we were supposed to in order to catch the bus out to Chichen Itza. We spent the day wandering, but we couldn't help but compare this site to Teotihuacan, which is in a league of its own. We still had a wonderful day and an fun three day excursion inland.  May 1992.
