As we came to the port of entry in Cancun, all the officials seemed very irritated with the tourist. Had one fella yellin at the people in line, just because they didn't hear him say, "next".

I should say however, we had two guys in Mexico that really caught our hearts. Philliman and Carlos. If I was independently wealthy I would have hired them both. Philliman was our waiter over the stay and Carlos was the bartender.

They treated us very well and seemed to genuinely care about us. Philliman on the last day gave a tearful blessing to our family.

"Philliman on the last day gave a tearful blessing to our family."

Some of the best people in the world live in Mexico. It's too bad they have to live under such a corrupt and foul government.

When I was a kid, we had a team from Tijuana come up to play us. They had pathetic little uniforms and their catching equipment was honestly dangerous. We probably beat them 145 to nothing, but everyone including us were rooting for them. They played their hearts out. When the game was over, we had a gift exchange. They had little packages of candy or toy rings and stuff to give. We gave them really nice things. They almost cried when they saw the gifts.

Best kids in the world. Couldn't even speak with them to get an address or anything, and we couldn't have read each others' letters. Quite an experience.
