40. I have been to Mexico maybe 40+ times

I’ve been to Mexico a lot,
But not as often lately over the past 10 years.

When I was younger , traveled there a lot.

Many around northern Mexico,
And Yucatán etc.

And Cancun,

I can recall Cancun at the beginning,
Isla Mujeres was there ‘First’,
And just a few hotels before located on the ’7’ shape Cancun island
Madonna at one time owned a beach house there in 1980s 90s?

Then Cancun turned into “Las Vegas On The Caribbean” disaster
it is now.

Before that damn toll road highway got built in Yucatán between Cancun
and Merida…..It was indeed ‘better’

Too many damn tourists now
