Cancun trip January 2007

Hello...I am back!

I will sum up my trip in a series of numbered points:

1. I had fun, overall, very nice to sit on the beach and do nothing and walk around in a bikini.
2. I am slightly sunburnt...was not as diligent with the sunscreen....now I fear I will need botox.
3. Highlights included: beach, warmth, sun, fun times with friends, the alligator at a bar we went to and we got to feed him chicken (and he also danced to the music...really, he did), snorkeling was awesome.
4. Senor Frogs was fun...actually played music from the current decade.
5. Coco Bongo nightclub was a date rapists paradise...would NEVER recommend going there. They played music from decades ago and it was lame-ish.
6. If you are single and want to get laid...this is the place for you. Can't tell you how many guys started dancing with me and got frisky, but as soon as I told them I wasn't fucking them...off they went to some other girl.

Overall, Cacun = Cheesy. I am kind of a snob and found the resort not so great. It was clean, beautiful beach but overall, food stunk and the bartenders were not as friendly.

I would highly recommend the Riviera Maya/Playa Del Carmen....more chill, quiet, upscale. Tammy and I went there a few years ago and it is so much nicer than Cancun.

My friend Angela and I got surrounded by a bunch of security guards at Coco Bongo who were trying to lure us to the dance section of the club and we just wanted to drink at the bar. I kept telling them "go way", "no" we are not going, one grabbed Angela..I hit him. Thank goodness a nice security guard escorted us out of there. They try to get you drunk before you even get into the club with shots and weird blue drinks. It's all a set-up to see how drunk you can get the women so the men can take advantage of them. Kind of scary.

So, overall, if you are single, want to get laid and enjoy almost getting sold into the sex trade...this is the place for you. I was actually surprised there were so many families with kids there. They even were walking around at night with their little kids in downtown with all the craziness.

Oh and the Coco Bongo also had live performers. Picture it: they started playing "Passion of the Christ" on a huge screen at the nightclub....next thing you know....men in loin clothes are dangling from crosses from the ceiling. Great way to get people in a party mood....show them the persecution of Christ. Being a recovering Catholic....I was offended by the whole scene. It was the strangest thing I ever saw.

Okay, must go back to work. Stay at the Riviera Maya people.

Love,

Amy
