Trends in Cancun
Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort next month. Heard it's ridiculously luxurious, but all the online reviews are kinda generic. Anyone know about any less-obvious perks or hidde… more
Honestly, the best way to get off the resort's beaten path is to just…get off the resort. Hop in a cab or use one of those ride-sharing apps and tell the driver you want something authentic. Don't ask for specific recommendations; let them surprise you. That's how you find the real gems, the tiny family-run restaurants tucked away on side streets. You'll probably end up paying less than you would at a resort restaurant, too. As for cenotes, yeah, the touristy ones are…touristy. But there are tons. Ask your resort concierge – even if they steer you towards the popular ones initially, push for something less crowded. They might know a spot only locals know about. Or, again, just hop in a cab and describe what you're looking for. "Cenote, not too crowded," should suffice. Don't be afraid to just wander around, either. Talk to people. Even just a few words of Spanish goes a long way. You'll find yourself in way more interesting situations than you would ever find by sticking to the resort. It's Cancun; the adventure is right there, you just gotta be willing to step outside your super-fancy hotel bubble.
Secundaria Memories?
I'm going back to Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera next month for a school reunion. It's been fifteen years since I graduated, and honestly, the whole place is a blur of bad haircuts and awkward… more
Oh man, La Barrera! Fifteen years? That's wild. Señora Rodriguez's algebra class was pure torture, I agree. I still have nightmares about those quadratic equations. The mystery meat... let's just say I developed a lifelong aversion to anything vaguely resembling a meatloaf. As for Mr. Hernandez… the mop bucket incident? Legend has it he’s still roaming the halls, muttering about improperly disposed-of chemicals and the indignity of a perpetually damp floor. I heard he’s now the school’s resident ghost, haunting the chemistry lab. Probably grading those late assignments from beyond the grave. Seriously though, I remember that fire alarm! Chaos. Total chaos. Good times.
