加納比海: 1 墨西哥Cancun 我們的夏威夷

“被攝影害了！”


墨西哥的度假勝地Cancun是咱們德州的夏威夷。離休斯敦不到兩個鍾頭的飛行距離，相比夏威夷的8個鍾頭就方便多了。當地講的是我們的德州第二語言（西班牙語)，也有和咱們相通的很多文化。那裏的旅遊設施都是按美國標準建的，住在旅遊區，感覺就像夏威夷。

我們去那三次，每次都很喜歡。第一次是2003年坐飛機專門在Cancun住了一個星期。另兩次是從休斯敦坐Cruise時停靠各一天。去那的遊客不少。冬天時，那裏仍可以遊泳。吸引很歐洲，加拿大，美國北部過冬的遊客。喜歡喝酒的朋友，那是天堂。All-inclusive deals包括酒。夏天是那的淡季，應該很便宜。

Snorkeling, horse-back riding, parks, shows, ancient sites, shopping, dining等都是很好的interactive旅遊項目。最喜歡的是Swimming with dolphins。這些是2003年的相片。那時，還沒有愛上攝影呢。

我們去加納比海玩過幾個島國、城市。現把數碼相片整理出來，分集收在這裏。這是第一集。現在看這些相片，太不過癮了。所以，自從去年決定投身攝影、買了SLR相機之後，所有以前去過的地方好像都沒有去過一樣，得想辦法再去一次。可以說，都是被攝影害了。

(3) You can swim on the beach at Xcaret.


(4) Well, it's not quite a beach... very rocky. You have to wear some slippers, otherwise it's very hurtful.


(5) Swimming in this channel was great.


(6) There are people snorkeling there.

(8) Performances at night at Xcaret. The stage was built like an ancient "soccer" field.
