The only time in Mexico I felt uncomfortable was walking back from dinner at night with my pregnant wife on one of the main streets in Playa Del Carmen. There was a group of local young men all making comments in Spanish(of course) towards me and my wife. They did nothing but make comments. It made my wife uncomfortable, and therefore me. Especially because I was outnumbered by about 5 to 1.
My company has a trip scheduled to Cabo next April. You have to get tested for covid coming home and going. Neither my wife or I are not vaccinated. Even though it is a company paid trip, I am not sure I really want to go back to Mexico.

The question is the utility. Do they need the rail, or is just graft (like most rail projects here in the US seem to be...)?
IF the latter, they need to slow it down long enough to excavate the sites.

It's for tourism, in this case archaeo-tourism and ecotourism. So, naturally, all the partiers in Cancun will take a couple of days out of their debauchery to look at the ruins and the parrots. ;^)

That is a shame. Maybe a surtax on the drug cartels to support Mexican archaeology would work.

I didn’t know that the Mayans had trains.
That’s why I’m on your ping list.

Well, I like ruins. And parrots.
But I don’t think I’d go to Mexico to see ‘em.

Tourist dollars, plus whatever they spend on dope and hookers, so at least from the latter, graft is a good way to describe it.

I’ve got some fake miniature ruins in my fish tank, and the macaw is playing the piano right now. Why do I need to travel?

Sounds like a nice fish tank.
I always wanted to get a fix tank and and load it up like that!

But that would mean you are buying from them wouldn’t it?
