some things i saw in the last week...
|
police |
in general there is a lot of police around. especially on the roads they are present, often checking cars. but so far i did not see any crime. here in yucatan you dont feel that you are in a country in which in the last 5 years about 35.000 people were killed in the drug war. but for sure this problem is mostely in the north, close to the us border. where i am right now its very tranquil; and also in the streets people are not really offering drugs (compared to some other countries). the only thing bad i saw so far was a huge police presence on the beach one evening. a small boy was missing since a few hours - a very common crime in mexico, kidnapping. lots of these children are brought to the us for prostitution...
but now some more happy images!!

last weekend i visited a nature reserve |
|
with the boat we went to a cenote in the water |
it was quite amazing, a place where sweetwater just comes from the ground into the ocean. feels a bit like a whirlpool to swim there (but is not relly attractive on pictures!)
|
mangrove forest |
the bigger trees are (were) mangrove as well. a huge hurricane a few years ago brought so much salt water to this area (next to, but not in the ocean), that all mangroves died. the green leaves are the fresh mangroves

cenotes can be like this as well |

pinc colour because of very high salt concentration. the white things are salt |

on the beach - very windy |

salt production again
the poeple just put salt water in there and wait until the water disappears |
|

typical streetfood, like a crepe with cheese |

punk dog!! |

today, just after sunrise |
last week i went to an organisation (a reha place for drug addicts, but they also have a bakery, play football etc.) because i thought i have enough time, and could help them a littel bit - kind of internship. as i entered i was nicely welcomed...and the people asked me about my drug problem (coca? meth?). my spanish is not that good, but still soon they figured out that i dont want to be treated, but would like to work. but that was not possible... its difficult here (as well as everywhere else i guess) to find something to work. but it would be interesting, and really good for learning the language!
now you have a little update about my life again...hope you are all doing well, have a nice easter time (here they dont have chocolate eggs...what a pitty!),
i changed some thing in thte blog...should be easier possible now to leave a comment...at least i hope so! so feel free...
hasta luego sevi
