TULUM, Mexico

One of the top excursions in Riviera Maya is Tulum, which you shouldn't miss if you're travelling to the Yucatan Peninsula.

One of the most stunning pictures of the nation is the archaeological zone of its old Mayan city, which features the renowned castle and is perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea's blue waves. One of the nicest things to do while on your tour is to descend to the shore of the ruins, which can take between two and three hours.

Good afternoon TUMBLR - July 8th - 2024

“Mr. Plant has owed me a shoe since July 5, 1971.”

Gazoducto Samalayuca - Sasabe. Mexico - Nuevos Casas Grandes - Chihuahua.

Part 6

M.R.I. Magnetic Resonance Image.

The long flights from London to Bogota, from Bogota to Mexico City, to Chihuahua, had left their mark: a pain in my left knee that left me at no peace!

Doc. Norma prescribed me an MRI at the local NCG Radiology Center.

Beautiful structure, well-kept garden, apparently efficient machines. After a couple of days I went to collect the results, and it was like a bolt from the blue!

Rupture of the right anterior cruciate ligament - left knee

Grade III tear of the posterior horn of the internal meniscus and the posterior horn of the external meniscus.

Bursitis of the patella

Tenosynovitis of the patellar tendon.

Hoffitis of the left patella. My left knee was basically ''gone'' but I didn't know it and I insisted on walking on it!! I took the report to Doc Norma, who - it seemed to me - didn't get too upset (it was characteristic of her not to get upset, perhaps deriving from the religious faith she adhered to: Mormonism). Norma told me that I needed a consultation with a specialist, identified as Dr. Jose' Alvarez Obregon of the Star Medica Clinic in Ciudad Juarez.

I saw him two days later and it was again a great surprise: a young and affable person, who, after having taken a look at the MRI, immediately put me at ease by saying that the report contained a lot of ''inaccuracies' ( not to mention worse). - Listen to me – he told – if you really had all the pathologies described in the report, you would be sitting in a wheelchair by now.

So why did they write all these ''inaccuracies''?

But to do business, right? The patient worried by the first report will want to have counter-proof, and will ask for new tests, always from them. By doing this the laboratory will earn more money!

That's incredible to me Doc.….

This is Mexico, Dear Sir – go ahead, take an anti-inflammatory if you want and you will see that within a few days the pain will be gone. Until we meet again!

And so it was: after 4 days the knee pain was just a bad memory of the intercontinental flights.

Mexican Travel and Holidays.

During the three years of my stay in Mexico, I had the opportunity to take some trips and holidays within the vast Mexican territory. Although, I must admit, I would have liked to visit more places. Like Baja California for example. Cabo San Lucas was a destination on my bucket list, but unfortunately for various reasons I couldn't see it. Chiapas was also a state I would have liked to visit, especially with its ancient evidence of the Mayan civilization in Palenque. However, apart from the recurring trips to Mexico City, I managed to have some nice holidays in Yucatan and Quintana Roo. They are truly enchanting places, with vestiges of their important past, and splendid nature. The Mexican Caribbean is one of the top world destinations. Since my first trip to Cancun, in 1984, much has been done to make the Riviera Maya attractive to high-level international tourism. I particularly appreciated Tulum, where you truly live in a sort of ''magical atmosphere''. The Mayan archaeological site, well cared for by the local authorities, is something grandiose. The only site directly on the shore of the splendid sea of ​​the Gulf of Mexico. Its particular position, on the coast overlooking the sea, meant that it was the first Mayan city to be sighted by the Spaniards on March 3, 1517. Its favorable geographical position had previously made it successful, making it an important trading post for products such as fish, honey, salt, obsidian and quetzal feathers. The most important building in Tulum is undoubtedly El Castillo located near the landing, a small inlet that served as a port. A destination for tourists from all over the world, the charm of Tulum is also given by its beaches of fine sand, typical of the Caribbean coast.

The Mayan city of Chichen Itza is also spectacular, perhaps the most important archaeological site in Mexico. The Castillo or Temple of Kukulcan, dominates the ancient city, which prospered from 600 AD. to about 1200. Graphic stone sculptures survive in structures such as the playing field, the Temple of the Warriors and the Wall of Skulls. The journey from Cancun to Tulum, approximately 300 km, takes place along a modern highway totally immersed in an intricate equatorial forest.

I also had the opportunity to visit Coba', an archaeological site built by the Mayan civilization located 44 km north-west of the Tulum site. Coba' is a relatively ''new'' site where important archaeological discoveries have been found, but which is still being excavated and promises to reveal more hidden treasures. Cobá is located around two lagoons. There are some sacbé («saq′i b′e», white road), it is a typical road of the Mayan civilization that goes eastwards on the Caribbean coast and the longest covers over 100 km of distance going westwards to the Yaxuná site. The site has several large pyramids, the largest of which is in the Nohoch Mul group of pyramids, 42 meters high.

Another great place to visit is the local attraction called ''Xcaret''. It's an enormous natural reserve directly to the sea, where numbers of live animals can be seen.

I had also the opportunity to re-visit ''Isla Mujeres'' where I had my honeymoon in 1984. Lot of changes since, some of them not for good. The once tiny naif island has become a mass tourist destination nowadays.

Anycase its lagoon is still spectacular, and it's pristine waters provide a safe place to swim and snorkel.

Cancun has first-rate hotel facilities and a coastline washed by a beautiful sea. Its colors and shades are among the most beautiful I have ever seen in the world.

Final return from Mexico

The project - after many difficulties, was well underway. We had managed to have a good number of local workers who had been taught to work according to our parameters and specifications. Finally our Client was also convinced of the goodness of our work, and was showing us signs of trust. For example by removing sections of gas pipeline from other small contractors, and assigning them to us. But the unexpected was just around the corner. When I was convinced that I would complete the project, one morning in May, I had just arrived at the office, I got a call from Italy.

Company's owner: what do you think about returning to Italy? We need a Works Director for the project in Abruzzo-Molise. (Central-South Italian region)

When Gino?

Tomorrow.

Ok, tell Franca to send me the plane ticket.

It was like that, a little sad way, I left ''Querido Mexico''. Without the so called ''despedida'' (farewell party).

The next day I board a plane in Chiuhuhua to Mexico city. And than onward to Madrid-Milan.

ADIOS MEXICO!
