This is just to show the difference in the locals and tourists accommodations.

Taken at the hotel where we stayed and on the road to Chichen Itza.

Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.
- Henry David Thoreau

It was luxuries like air conditioning that brought down the Roman Empire. With air conditioning their windows were shut, they couldn't hear the barbarians coming.
- Garrison Keillor

Living in the lap of luxury isn't bad, except that you never know when luxury is going to stand up.
- Orson Welles

Its funny how we are not usually shown the "other" side of the vacation.. But you have pulled it off perfect!
Nice idea and then to group it with a beach BG...

Excellente idée de faire un montage sur le sujet.
Chacune des photos est un bon exemple qui vient appuyer ta démonstration. L'évidence est on ne peut plus claire.
Bravo pour la netteté des couleurs.

Great idea! I like all of these pictures. When I travel I love to go to the locals places as we can learn so much about the people and their way of life. You show a very big difference here. TFS

Dear Pierre
The contrasts in this collage are powerful! I really like the way you have paired everything off for us. And of course, all four captures are very nicely composed.
This one is a favourite for me!

It's so much fun to get out of the touristy areas and do a little looking around! This really shows the REAL life there in Mexico! Nice shots, love the collage here! Nice work!

I know where I would much rather be Pierre and not because it would be cheaper. Excellent collage, good colour and detail in each image and I like the background. TFS,
David

Bonjour Pierre,
C'est bien, elle parle beaucoup cette photo. Le montage, fidèle à tes présentations, place bien le sujet et conte l'histoire. Cinq milles mots (je compte bien sur l'arrière plan) dans une publication; le message passe !
Ivan

Hello Pierre!

Best regards!
