Yucatan

Cristobal made landfall Wednesday on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.

Researchers exploring submerged caves under Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula found evidence of a mining endeavor believed to date back thousands of years.

On the 3rd of November of 2021, it was a rainy, somber day. At the cafe, I found the only open spot at a table near the washroom. There, I drank my iced green tea. At a table beyond mine was a blond student with big biceps with tattoos. Hans the Netherlander rolled in with his wheelchair. I joined him at another table. There, we discussed multibillionaires: Elon Musk's space technology and Bill Gates' medical technology. Then, we discussed the Yucatan. I said that I have been to the temples at Tulum, near a cliff overlooking a white sandy beach, looking like a science fiction set. The other day, he mentioned that Netherlanders ate eel. I suggested that he try the "unagi donburi," sweet glazed eel on rice, at the nearby Japanese restaurant.

Money is a great motivator for many people, but some intellectuals, or not even, look beyond money, as they know life is not really about money. Yes, one can do and get much with money, but hopefully something not too frivolous. But think that at death, one cannot bring one's deluxe postmodern castle in the Yucatan!

The U.S. National Hurricane Center Wednesday said Hurricane Delta has come ashore along the northeastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula with maximum sustained winds of 175 kilometers per hour.
