The new year starts with my very best wishes for you all, and two "must visit" links: LTNC, my beloved feminist artist group, had an exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris which is documented in German here: http://www.blogumenta.blogspot.com/,

Significantly less homeless are visible in Cancún (not to bother white fat tourists with poverty on display). This woman has her fix spot in Cancún downtown though, transgressing in a private nap in the earlier evening and going to bed later in the night, when the shop closes and provides for a "roof".

Chíchen Itzá, UN world heritage and most visited site in Mex (20.000 visotors/day) is similar to a huge shopping mall with hundreds of souvenir stalls (selling exactly the same). Surprisingly, you still can take fotos which transmit the illusion of a spiritual, and romantic site. It is special in comparison to other sites, since Toltec and Maya tribes and their styles and gods intermingled here in this particluar place (the third most important tribe in Mex being the Aztecs). The 35 meter deep cenote (natural well) contained thousands of precious stones and bones of human sacrifices now displayed in museums in US and Mex.

A free cultural program in the Parque Santa Lucia attracted Hundreds of people. Spanish poems, Mayan music, and Mayan Dance were parts of the "Serenata Yucateca" this evening. I enjoyed most the Ballet Titular del Ayuntamiento de Mérida.

Mérida. The city pulses like the heart of an excited Latin lover in constant high velocity. Small sidewalks and traffic craziness (from horses to Mercedes) create a speed-athmosphere which is 500% New York City. Here some views from the market...

Central Bus Station Cancún: We are on our way to Mérida for a spontaneous 2 - 3 days trip...

Surrender is to be found in relaxation and play ... a view from the beach...

Christmas preparations of family Rudolph. Was very apprecitaed in town, people started singing "el venado" (obviously a famous Mexcian song) and made various financial offers for our horny horns :-)
