A few weeks back one of the host families offered a fellow student their beach house for the weekend. With no convincing at all, the five of us decided to pack up (I brought my disposible camera) and head to Cuyo, a quite beach town in the Carribean. Cuyo is mayan for cerro, or hill, as the town itself was built on a Mayan city. The pueblo originally had 60 people, but now is up to 2,000 - still few enough for a weekend getaway. The roads are solely sand and in the middle of town you can find local youth playing soccer.
The view from the Ria Lagartos causeway - a red lagoon highly saturated with salt
so saturated that this is me sitting on a pile of salt!
