Dressed for the Ruins

Monte Albán, Oaxaca.

Note the matching wardrobe. I must say that ruin-hiking and short skirt isn't a good idea, even when the colors are sooo appropriate. I was nevertheless cheered by the thought that the girl I saw in high heels (pink, btw...) was way more uncomfortable than me.

Ok, end of the girly-bitchy post.

Facts About Mexico

If you eat a plate full of "chapulines colorados" (fried grasshoppers) your head will turn red and extremely itchy. Antihistaminic required. Sure enough, colorado means very red.
If you swallow enough water from the cenotes (underground caves with fresh water), you will puke.
In Mexico City's traffic lights, the little man that means "you can cross now" doesn't walk, but runs. Very appropriate.
There is no concept of "bus stop". The bus will pick you up wherever you are, and will drop you off wherever you want. Even if it means stopping each 5 meters.
Mérida - Celestún buses smell like fish.
Celestún - Mérida buses transport fishermen with buckets full of fish. Which explains the previous point.
Yucatán Península's birds are deafening, and crazy.
Mexicans are so nice, that you don't mind they are trying to rip you off.
Mexico is awesome.
