Speed Bumps & Ruins in Yucatan
Such a fun article by Carolina Muscle, or “Yer Ole Uncle Nuts” about his Yucatan travel adventures. I can attest to problems with all the speed bumps from my experiences in Yucatan while filming the Yucatan Travel Movie.
The drive was long – about 5 hours from Cancun, or 3 hours from Costa Maya,
but the roads were great—
— if you disregard the hundred-some speed bumps on the highway – –
In the United States, we use radar to control speed-
…. in the southern Mexican state of Quintana Roo, they use speed bumps.
The speed limit on the Federal Highway was 100 KMH–
–but you had to slow down to about 5 when you got to the bumps.
And they weren’t the small ones either-
— these would tear the tranny right outta yer Jeep if you hit em too hard.
fun with yer ole Uncle Nuts in the Yucatan76

He also writes about visiting one of the Mayan ruins, including a description of his tourist guide, who is a retired Mexican teacher and very proud of his Mayan roots. Take a look at the article for a bunch of great photographs.
