Знаешь, я с тобой совершенно согласна. Насчет отношения к смерти и к мертвым в Латинской Америке. Мне тоже ближе память (хорошая, светлая), чем уныние.
Интерсный топик, кстати, "отношение к смерти" в Западном мире и в Лат. Америке.

Фотографии как всегда восхитительные.

Thanks :)

I feel very strongly about the whole attitude in time of loss. (knock on wood) if something is to happen to me on this trip (or after), though, I feel safer here than in many first world parts of the earth I've been to, I hope those who actually know me will know to celebrate my life more so then mourn my death.

I guess I told you about the computer quest game called Grim Fandango. It is heavily based on this side of latin american culture.

We are arriving in Cosumel, Mexico 12/24/07 at 8 AM and will leave at 5 PM. Are you going to be around there? No need to change your plan.
Could you give us a good advice how is better to spend a time at Cosumel. We were once in sub-marine to view through the window all the Caribbean underwater world and the beautiful coral formations of the Paraiso reef. What do you think if we go to the Mayan Ruins of Tulum (7 hrs)?
