Mexico offers such an abundance for the adventure or vacation traveler, it's almost inconceivable not to consider it for one of your next travels. Here's a sampling of my own dicoveries during my several (so far) trips around this vast country.

1. Mexico Musings
Zocalo in
Mexico City
Mexico City
Veracruz
Xalapa
Tlaxcala
Toluca
Orizaba
Taxco
Acapulco

2. Avenida Francisco I. Madero
in Mexico City, D.F.

3. Two Mexico City Landmarks

4. Beach Promenade in Veracruz

5. Veracruz Aquarium and Beach Scene

6. A stuffed
Blowfish
at the
Aquarium
in
Veracruz

7. Tropical Drinks on the Promenade in Veracruz

9. Getting a Head in Xalapa – a stone-carved Olmec Head

10. Downtown
Tlaxcala

11. Main Plaza View of Tlaxcala

12. Cathedral in Main Plaza Tlaxcala

13. Statue of Xicotencatl

14. Toluca Downtown

15. The Arcade on Galeana
at Hidalgo in Downtown Toluca

16. Orizaba: This city of about
100,000 Indians and mixed Spanish
blood inhabitants is named for Mt.
Orizaba (Citlaltepetl), Mexico’s
highest peak and the third highest
peak in North America at an
elevation of about 18,406 ft. (5,610
meters). Only Mt. McKinley in Alaska
and Mt. Logan in Canada are higher.
Also referred to as Pico de Orizaba, it
can have snow at its upper levels
year-round but the climbing season
is in Winter, which is just the
opposite of the other North
American climbs. That makes
Orizaba a very popular destination
from November through February.
The climbers (and tourists) come
principally from all over North
America with some from Europe and
beyond.

17. A SOMBRERO VENDOR – TAXCO
Okay. So, how would YOU carry 15 or
20 full-sized, wide-brimmed hats?

18. View of Taxco from Kennedy Street

19. Evening View of Taxco From the Avenida de Los
Plateros

20. Not fancy from the
outside, but a good
place to start your
culinary tour of
Tasqueno food. It’s
much nicer inside
with quite a nice,
colonial décor of
pastel walls and
carved wood tables
and furniture. Prices
are pretty
reasonable too for
good local dishes
and “comida
corridas”.

21. The Hotel Santa Prisca in the Plazuela San Juan

22. Streets are fairly well lit
at night and safe, but
don’t expect any neon.
This is a colonial town
and zoning is strictly
enforced by the Mexican
government. Pedestrians
are afoot until the wee
hours, usually around
the bars, discos or pubs
(cantinas) near one of
the Plazas. Plaza de San
Juan, Plaza Borda
(Zocalo) and Plazuela de
Bernal are all good and
within a short walking or
collectivo ride of each
other.

Juarez Near the Zocalo

23. A View of La Quebrada, Acapulco

24. Night Stroll Along Costera in Acapulco

25. A Beach Vendor Selling “Platano”

26. Of the many vendors
patrolling the “playas”
hawking everything
from fresh avocadoes
to sun-ripened Zapotes
or sliced Zanahorias,
the most enterprising
offer “free samples” in
hopes of generating a
sale. The goods on sale
here are watermelon,
plain mango, mango
covered with red chili
pepper, and sliced
pineapple dipped in
red chili powder. (This
is MEXICO, remember?
Don’t knock it unless
you’ve TRIED it!)

27. Beach for Locals in Acapulco

28. Cliff Divers at La Quebrada, Acapulco
(The three divers are on the rock summit upper right side, see them?)
