While Cozumel is always one of the best experiences my family and I have had to date, I have to provide the other side of the perspective when venturing into Yucatan,Progreso.
You see, Cozumel is filled with emerald, almost blue green teal ocean water colors,
beautiful, white sandy beaches and shopping galore, your breath is literally taken away as you sail into port from one of the many cruise ship lines.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The open, breezy, fresh air hits you in the face causing an instant exhale of relaxation and stress free zone.
You immediately transform your mind and spirit from the woes and schedules of every day life to disconnect in order to enjoy being 'here' - in the moment.
On the other side, however, lies the Yucatan Progreso.
The area appears poverty stricken but is abundant in little mercados for shopping and eateries with delicious varieties of food. Anyone that has forgotten their blessings back home will be for sure reminded of such walking the inner city streets of this area.
Families work together from sun up until sun down selling hand made crafts and other cool items or offering beach side service with food and drink. Children of all ages are working alongside their parents.
Many are on foot or bike and every corner boasts in rich Mexican culture with the smell of authentic food in the air and music in your ears.
Whichever side you choose, experience it all. Let your spirit be filled with the beautiful sites of all of God's marvelous creations. Let your mind relax and may you take in new dreams for your future.
Most of it, travel with love and love your travel.
