TRAVEL TALK
“Tell me more about Mexico, Lem,” Alfie requested as they sat down to talk things over at the travel agency recently. “If you are interested in ancient ruins, pyramids and learning about the highly developed Mayan culture that thrived centuries before Columbus discovered America, then the Yucatan Peninsula is an excellent place to spend a vacation. It has beautiful seaside resorts as well to combine with other interests,” Lem began. “History tells us that Indian cultures in Mexico date back to 1 A.D. and that Mexicans have been in Mexico for 10 centuries. Just as Mexico City is built on the site of the capital of the Axtecs, so was Merida, capital of the Yucatan state in Mexico, built on the site of the ancient capital of the Mayan civilization. And like most cities in this country. Merida delights all who visit there with its smooth blend of the old and new.” “Located in the eastern part of Mexico, the peninsula juts upward into the ocean with the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Caribbean Sea to the east,” Lem continued. “The city of Merida is beautiful with its wide tree-lined streets and spacious mansions all along them which bespeak the elegance of days gone by. There are open markets displaying handicrafts of the Yucatan such as men’s guayabera shirts, hemp belts and baskets, and gold and silver filigree jewelry. Its restaurants offer dishes found only in this area with recipes dating back for centuries.” “For those interested in archeological ruins one can travel from Merida to Chichen Itza and Uxtmal (pronounced each syllable and it will sound o k.) to see "their spectacular Mayan temples, pyramids and fortresses. And there are other Car stereo stolen at Premiere lot Premiere Corporation manager Carol King reported the theft of an under dash stereo from a car at the Premiere Corporation Parking lot, 106 West High St., Syracuse, on November 6. The Power Graphic Equalizer amplifier was stolen sometime between 7a.m. and3:3o p.m. The wires from the car to the amplifier were cut. The item was valued at SBO. 'Beth and Harry' topic for CRC The Columbian Reading Circle met Monday evening in the Dewart Lake home of Mrs. Ted Tobin. Mrs. Charles Greene had charge of the program and reviewed the book, “Beth and Harry,” an American love story by Jhan Robbins. The book tells the story of the Trumans, a couple who were complete opposites. She was rich, pretty and athletic. He was a farmer’s son, bespectacled, and didn’t play sports. Yet for more than 50 years Beth and Harry Truman shared a close and loving partnership from their courtship days in Independence, Mo., thru the turbulent White House years and after this remarkable couple exhibited the warmth, wisdom and oldfashioned integrity that makes plain-folks’ America go ’round. Following the program, refreshments were served by the hostess. The next meeting will be November 24 and will be a trip to Fort Wayne to see the Christmas disply of decorations at a floral and gift shop. Members not at the Monday meeting who wish to go should contact Mrs. Dean Cousins. Prior to departure, the group will meet at 3 p.m. at the home of Mrs. Herbert Baumgartner. The Christmas party on December 8 at 6:30 p.m. will be a carry-in dinner at the home of Mrs. Darrell Orn. Meat and drinks will be furnished by the committee. Each member is to take a gag gift.

areas in this state as well as central Mexico where ruins of ancient civilizations once flourished Merida is also a good central location for hunters, and for other pleasures there are two popular resorts just off the shore at the tip of the peninsula which combine nicely to add a “fun-in-the-sun” vacation with whatever other pursuits you may choose. ” “You refer to Cozumel and Cancun, of course,” Alfie surmised. “That’s right,” Lem replied. “Cozumel, Mexico’s largest island, actually is a pint-sized 116 square miles. Less than half of it is inhabited but it has much to offer and is fast becoming a favorite with tourists. Caribbean cruise ships are frequent visitors. The hotels, restaurants and facilities compare to those of Mexico’s largest resorts. Water sports are popular, the beaches are fine and divers rate Cozumel’s Palancar Reef as one of the top five spots in the world. Cozumel’s pleasures are simple. Its miniature size makes it cozy and the natives are friendly.” “As for Cancun," Lem added, "it should be on the list of world wonders Government computers chose the site for this resort. And since it opened its doors six years ago, it has become a four-star stop among the resorts of the Caribbean. From the beginning. Cancun had everything going for it. Built on a narrow island off the northeast coast of the peninsula, this 13-mile long sand spit, about a quarter-mi le wide, has a warm climate (average temperature 81 degrees), a powdery white sand beaches and aquamarine waters. The area was uninhabited making possible made-to-order planning.” “Everything has been planned to make life nice and easy. Most of the action centers around the hotel zone and there is frequent bus service linking it to the center of town. There is fishing, diving and snorkeling, and just plain sunning and swimming, plus tennis and golf. Wind surfing is the hottest new sport and lessons are available at several hotels. There are good restaurants and shopping areas with open markets as well as good boutiques. Now, in its second phase, its latest hotel is a condominium and more such facilities are under construction.” “Well,” sighed Alfie, “our neighbor to the south has much to entice visitors and to satisfy their wishes. Sounds like no matter where one goes, there is a combination of the old and new and no conflict because of it. This is a real accomplishment. You’ve touched on the highlights, I can see, without dwelling on Monterrey to the north. But I’m familiar with this industrial center of the country and its educational opportunities. We’ll talk more about all of this with my friends and they will be in to see you soon.”
