cancun - premio dia

wow this is exciting:
landed in cancun last night and successfully avoided all the taxi offers to take the 3dollar bus to downtown. then i found my way to my hotel by asking people -- in spanish!!!
the hotel looked much nicer when i booked my reservation online, but that is no surprise... it was hot as all hell in my room so i wondered down the street, where i found a nice open air market. people, mostly women, were selling familiar looking exotic 3rd world goods of various origins... i debatedover gettin some gifts but i thought it was all overpriced, so i just bought myself one of those woven suits for like 20bucks, then left...
i was then wooed into checkin out a nearby restaurant. at first i was just going to enjoy the 2x1 cerveza special... but then the mgr and his crew were so friendly that i decided to go ahead and try the fish tacos.
they came and sat with me, before my first beer was served, and we immediately were jokin and laughin as i practiced my spanish and they practiced their english. it was beautiful... the mgr kept trying to tell me about his "sister" and telling me i could have her for 600 pesos.
eventually this old leather faced gringo who had not shaved in a few weeks came over, smellin like sweaty old tobacco. turns out he is on the run from the law = he came to mexico 6 months ago when he found out he would get 7 years in prison for drivin with a suspended license (!!!). he had clearly had some bad luck, included being robbed for everything he owned on his way around the gulf coast when a truck pulled up and some guys wth machetes came out. but he was still alive, and doin well: he´s a master carpenter with a phD in archaeology and a masters in anthro, or something, and now he is living rent-free in a whorehouse that he says he will probably be repairing for the next three years. its owned by a zapata, so its nothin. he and i had fun drinkin beer, smokin some ganja (apparently the mgr of that restaurant is quite the entrepreneur, or hustler, however you wanna call it), and tradin stories of ... women...
after that i wandered a bit andfound some boring clubs before finally retiring to bed around two am...
but couldn´t sleep past 6am, due to fucking bedbugs tearin me up, not to mention the intense humidheat of my room, which was much warmer than it was outside. i rose, washed the sweat and bug carcasses off me, and went to the lobby to wait for desayuno.
after breakfast i smoked a little spliff and then headed to the beach for a few hours... all i can say is MUY MUY RICA!!!!!!!!
next stop::: PLAYA DEL CARMEN
