Holbox Vacation, part III

We made a total of 3 treks into town during our vacation.  It was about a 15 minute walk up the beach to get into the town - so not too bad.  The first time, we left mid morning and walked around for quite a while and found a lunch place and some homemade fruit popsicles. It was hot in town, so the ice cream was definitely a treat. We even got the same ice cream when we went into town a few days later :)

The town was neat and you could tell it had been there a while.  Something that we found odd about the town, and even throughout our drives through Mexico, is the number of abandoned buildings.  They could be old, new, or under construction - and they are just abandoned.  People abandon buildings and homes here in the states, but it just seems so prevalent there.

Anyway, here are some photos from our treks into town.  I was busy trying to dodge the puddles / lakes so I didn't get a lot of pictures in town, but these can give you an idea of what it was like.

A basketball court in the town square - quite colorful and in disrepair


The little cafe we had lunch at while in town - the only meal we didn't eat at our hotel

Looking down a street - those puddles are actually getting smaller :)

You can see down the street to the ocean!

The fist view of town (or last if you're on the way back to the mainland on the ferry)

They had two varieties of road signs - rusted or painted on wood
