Cancun.... Paradise lost in a jungle of people

We finally arrived after a long day on two delayed flights and transfers. It is no fun when the airline doesn't have enough immigration forms for its passengers.  Upon arrival to the Cancun airport the entire group of passengers had to casually make their way to a find immigration forms and fill these out with ink-less pens. What a challenge! After clearing customs, Brian found the nearest bar and moved quickly to get us liquid refreshments that proved to be a heavenly libation in balmy weather despite it being 9:30 PM. I love Mexico!!! Its aromas, its people (my people), its food, its culture.......

Nothing like Negra Modelo on tap.....after a long flight

After our beer we proceeded to get checked in, discussed fishing opportunities and expectations over 

a fine lager beer of a German brewmaster that made Mexico his home in the XX century thus the 

name. We also enjoyed a gastronomic tasting of the local fare, which included green chicken

enchiladas and cochinita pibil (ko-cheen-ee-tah pee-beale)tacos; a local dish of the Yucatan which consists of shredded pork marinated in "achiote", a local plant that gives a truly distinct flavor and red coloring. Add a bit of red onion cured in lime juice and vinegar and diced fresh habanero peppers and you have a recipe that will change your political views or prompt you to take three Prilosec pills in one swig of water. 

A fine chelada 

The Whole Enchilada.....literally

Cochinita Pibil tacos .... Mmmmm
