Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico

The 4 of us went anout 30 minutes by shuttle into the small city of Tapachula, Mexico. It was a vibrant city that exuded a nice energy. There was dancing, music and local foods. As we strolled through the city, we even encountered a covered, temporary ice-skating rink which was packed with locals. We felt it was a real taste of a Mexican city since we were some of the only non-mexicans around. Our bright-white legs were a real giveaway! It was about 90 degrees and we heard several people mention how delightfully cool it was. Yikes! Even though we love the food on the ship, we did step out here and
had lunch at a small, local place that included a dish of mole.
We shopped at the Zapateria for shoes and rode back to the ship in one of the most crowded vehicles I've ever been in. At one point I could see Nancy's head just about touching the windshield.
The ship sailed in the late afternoon to traditional Mexican dancers at the dock.Baca lagi
