Good coverage of Yucatan. I just returned & did my pgs & am enjoying looking at everyone else's. Each is different. You have great photos, especially Sayil & Labna. I didn't see those places. Thanks, Helga

Helga. I enjoyed reading these pages which are concise, insightful, helpful, and interesting. Of special interest were Holtun caves, the natural wells, architecture, Kabah, but especially the customs such as Las Voladeros. Thanks.

I've never been to that part of Mexico, but it looks like a wonderful place to visit. I'd especially like to see the flamingos at Celestun.

Hey, niet persoonlijk bedoeld hoor. Jullie hebben heel wat andere dingen gezien dan wij en dat doet me verlangen om nog eens terug te gaan...
