Our hotel in Cancun - Casa Maya - one of the biggest flags I've ever seen.
In 1999, Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo started a program erecting giant flags across the country. The "banderas monumentales" (monumental flags) were placed in various cities and spots, most of which are of great significance to the nation. The flags must measure 47 x 82 feet, which are raised on flag poles that are 164 feet high.

This trip was so fun because we did get to see our friends in Mexico -- and to make new friends. We are so blessed that sometimes it is almost scary.
We were lucky to attend a Couchsurfing Meet Up at Las Frias Bar. A great turn out with people from Germany, England, Peru. It was a fun night and we made some new friends.

So the end comes to all good things and our trip to Mexico Sept/Oct 2014 is over. We had many new experiences, saw new places, tasted new foods and made a few new friends. We enjoyed our traveling companions Deb and Larry, who were great to spend time with. Couldn't have asked for a better trip. I love this place and as always say, Viva Mexico!!!!!
