Ciudad del Carmen


Arrived on a second class bus...again! ADO is the major bus service here in Mexico...and if you don't have enough money to use it...you sure know it! We hopped on a bus that I was sure going to fall apart any minute! I longingly looked out the window at the luxury buses that crossed our path...they had windows, and cushioned seats, airconditioning, a bathroom, everyone got a seat!
Carmen is and island...and there is not much to do here.
We tried to visit the beaches. They were ugly, dirty and unswimmable.
Our hostal is interesting. I guess 150 pesos a night doesn't buy cleanliness or a toilet seat.
We were about to leave this morning when the owner of the hostal mentioned they were going to Campeche tomorrow. We'll save 224 pesos by hitching a ride. Hopefully we won't be murdered...haha!
We've just been hanging out...went to Chedraui today. The Mexican equivalent of Cub Foods. Bought a bag of pasta for 1 peso. 1 peso. Some had bugs in them but I guess that is normal.

Adios...Besitos...Nos Vemos Pronto!
