I know very little about Mexico. All I know is what I saw during my stay. @ lisho: You’re making a good point. I know very little about Mexico. All I know is what I saw during my stay.

You only stay here for a week. I belive in the freedom of speak about whatever you want But I think too that if you going to talk about a culture or a city, a country, about a religion, you must live like their do. I don't talk about americans or cubans 'cause I never live like. I love you blog. But I hate this post. What do you about Mexico?

We thought about going back to Cabo next year, but frankly, I am thinking that we will stick with places that don't make me feel so guilty, such as Hawaii. (Even if that would be a burying-my-head-in-the-sand type of thing). Thanks, Shilpan. :)

We've been on numerous trips (Mexico, Dominican Republic and various other islands) where we witnessed houses and villages like that on the way to our posh resort. It makes me feel horrible. I bring extra cash to tip them - everyone from the bartender to the maids to the guy sweeping up the resort paths. My sister gave $100 tip to the lady in charge of the kids' club at the end of our visit and she was in tears. She'd never received a tip like that before. And, yes, I'll agree that the resorts do bring in income for the locals, but the hotels don't pay them all that much. They don't need to. That's why I try to do something extra.
