The food was mostly good, and I had some excellent cochinita pibil and several wonderful soups. But when we were in Celestún especially I was disappointed in the dinners we had.

Even though my husband would have really liked seeing the sharks, it was definitely the right time of year for avoiding winter or extreme heat, and we mostly wanted to see some ruins and cenotes.

The sargassum was bad, though. It is removed in tourist areas, at great cost, but we weren't living in a tourist area once we settled, and we were only a block and a half from the beach. That stuff stinks when it's decaying!
