Puerto Chiapas, Mexico May 2, 2012

I have to tell you, today my legs were so sore from all the walking on the uneven cobblestones yesterday, that I just couldn't walk too far today. We arrived in Puerto Chiapas, Mexico right on time at 8:00 AM. Bryan & Linda, along with Bev & Gord took the shuttle bus to Tapachula, they told us it was an incredible town to visit, and there was so much activity & lots of interesting sights on the street to take in. But I just couldn't make it past the straw market that was right next to the ship. There were some really nice souvenir shops there, and plenty of local dancers to keep us occupied for a few hours.
