BIENVENIDOS A MEXICO

My family and I left Point Arena to go to southern Mexico. We first went to Cancun and had some good food. We found a plaza called Parque de las Palapas and it had a lot of food stands. Last night there was a man singing and people were dancing to the music. My mom wanted me to dance but I did not want to (even though my teacher Ms. Liz would like it!).

Food stands

We went to the plaza for most of our meals. I ate pozole, carne asada tacos and chicken mole, the tacos were my favorite. There were some sweet food stands too. I had a marquesita and a bag of churros. The marquesitas were like a crepe rolled into a waffle cone with nutella in the middle and they were very good. The churros were fried dough that were rolled in sugar, my brother said they were “deep-fried carb sticks dipped in sugar”. I had chorizo and potato quesadillas for breakfast at a quesadilla place near the plaza. They were really tasty.

Today I took a bus from Cancun to Tulum. For lunch I had some pescado frito, fried fish. My dad tried one of the sauces with a chip and it was super hot. His face turned red and he said his lips were on fire. Now we’re in a small house with a kitchen and we rode bikes to a fruit market and got good food like mangoes and avocados. So far I think the food is very good.
