We arrived in Isla Holbox (pronounced OL-BOS, in Mayan dialect) after a 2 1/2 hour ride through the jungles of Northern Yucatan. Beautiful, hot, sandy spit of land off the coast of Yucatan, across from Cuba. A short ferry ride across Yalahau Lagoon, put us in the town of Holbox, population 2000. The Seagulls are fighting over dead fish at Raices Restaurant, which is on the beach. Everyday at Sunset, a Mayan who works at the restaurant blows a conch shell to the setting sun.
