another sign of the apocalypse

I was struck speechless while perusing the beer at the supermarket yesterday.

Bud & Clamato == Chelada?

It's not quite intriguing enough to want to try myself. But, inflicted upon someone else... Perhaps a six pack as a house warming gift for my enemies

don't eat the chicken pizza

Back from a week in Cancun! Luckily, we only got horribly sick on the last day. Just in time to fly home. Awesome.

We stayed at the Dreams Tulum Resort. For an all-inclusive, it was reasonably priced, and very nice. The staff was awesome. The food at the resort's restaurants was all very good.

The majority of the week was spent listening to downloads of the Geek Show Podcast, sipping mojitos, and staring at the ocean.

Thursday, we took a tour to Chichen Itza. Oh lord... it was a long drive from Tulum. But, the ruins were worth it. Very interesting, it was great to see the scale of things. Unfortunately, climbing the steps is now verboten.

Included in the tour package was a lunch at the buffet at the Mayaland hotel right next to the ruins. It looked risky, but we were lulled into complacency by the luck we had with our resort's food. All four of us got sick that night and the next day.

On the way back from Chichen Itza, we stopped at an amazing cenote. We only had a half hour, so we decided not to take a dip.
