Makes me think of Isla Mujeres when we first went there in the early 90's. It was far from undiscovered at that time, relatively speaking. We'd go every year for about 8 years in a row before we...

T, I guess I did already do a Nexpa report. In response to ekscrunchy. That reminded me. I'm old. I forget stuff. I'll post a couple of new pics to bump it.

Thanks for the report on a part of CDMX we rarely visit. In fact, just once. We did do Danzantes on our only time. Because we liked their Oaxaca location so much.

I think a lot of the face painting nonsense has its roots in that James Bond movie, the title of which I forget. For sure it (the movie) did much to inspire the now 'traditional' DoD parade in CDMX....
