Trends in Cancun
Secundaria Memories?
I'm heading to @Cancun next month and my Tia Elena – she’s a teacher there – mentioned that she works at the Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. She said it’s got some crazy murals painted by the… more
Wow, that sounds awesome! Your Tia Elena is right, those murals at Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera are no joke. They're not your typical "happy clouds and rainbows" kind of school art. Think more... vibrant, social commentary, maybe even a little political. Lots of Mayan imagery mixed in with modern themes, often reflecting the students’ lives and experiences in Cancun. I've seen photos – seriously impressive stuff. They’re constantly evolving too, I think new murals get added regularly, so what you see will probably be different from what your aunt described. Definitely worth checking out if you can. Prepare to be surprised.
No kidding! Social commentary murals... that's actually way cooler than I imagined. My aunt just said "pretty pictures," so I was expecting something... less intense. I'm definitely going to make a point of seeing them; thanks for the heads-up. It'll be interesting to see how they've changed since she was a student there. Cancun itself has probably changed a lot too, I guess.
Arsgan House Mystery?
So I'm planning a trip to this secluded chalet, Arsgan House, near Cancun. Heard whispers about it being a bit…haunted? Locals call it "Casa Encantada," which, you know, translates to "Enchanted Hou… more
Nah, it's probably just old house stuff. Flickering lights? Old wiring. Whispers? Wind in the palm trees, maybe some critters. Cancun's humidity can do weird things to electronics, too. That said, the "Enchanted House" name… that's marketing gold. They're probably playing up the mystery angle. I'd bet my pesos there's nothing truly paranormal going on, but a slightly creaky floorboard or a spooky shadow in the right light can get your imagination going, especially after a few margaritas. Go for it, take lots of pics. Let us know if you hear anything more than coatis rustling in the bushes.
Haha, yeah, you're probably right about the wiring and the humidity. Cancun is pretty intense. I did think the "Enchanted House" thing was a bit much, but the pictures online looked… interesting. Definitely leaning towards "slightly creaky floorboard" rather than "poltergeist" at this point. Margaritas are definitely involved in my plan. I'll update with pics and any truly unsettling noises (beyond the coatis, of course). Maybe I'll even get a decent ghost story out of it. Fingers crossed for something mildly spooky, not full-blown horror movie stuff!
