CANCUN IS A LOT LIKE OTHER PLACES IN MEXICO WHERE PEOPLE ENJOY THE OCEAN. CANCUN MEANS NEST OF SNAKES. THIS ISLAND WAS FIRST KNOWN TO THE MAYA WHO DEVELOPED MANY ANCIENT SITES WE VISITED NEARBY.

WE TOURED MANY ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES SUCH AS CHICHEN ITZA. HERE WE STAYED IN THE QUARTERS WHERE THE ORIGINAL ARCHAEOLOGISTS HAD LIVED. WE FLEW TO MERIDA WHICH HAS A WALLED CITY WITH A MAJOR PORT OF CAHA. THE RUINS ARE 12 METERS HIGH ON THE EAST COAST OF YUCATAN BY THE SEA. COBA SHOWS TRACES OF TEOTIHUACAN. TULUM IS A BEAUTIFUL SITE THERE THAT IS EXCELLENT FROM THE CARIBBEAN SEA. IT HAS A WALLED CITY ON THE CLIFFS. I REMEMBER SEEING SOME OLD PICTOGRAPHS. TULUM WAS 1 OF THE LAST SITES INHABITED BY THE MAYAS. IT WAS ONCE OCCUPIED BY SPANISH WHO BROUGHT DISEASES HERE.
IT WAS ONE OF THE LAST CITIES BUILT BY THE MAYANS. SPANISH DISEASES APPEARED TO HAVE CAUSED ITS DEMISE. TULUM HAD BEEN A CITY FOR TRADING OBSIDIAN.

MY SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
WHEN I WAS WORKING IN SEVERAL BUSINESSES I WANTED TO GET MORE EXPERIENCE IN PUBLIC SPEAKING. SO IN ONE BUSINESS I MET WITH VARIOUS FOLKS TO SELL MY ARTISTIC FOUNTAINS. I FOUND THAT I ENJOYED SELLING MORE THAN DOING THE ART WORK AS I AM A PEOPLE PERSON NOW.

AND SPENT MANY HOURS TALKING TO FOLKS ABOUT GOOD HEALTH AND HEALTHY FOODS AND HOW THEY COULD INCREASE THEIR HEALTH AND LONGEVITY. I GOT IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK FROM FOLKS WHO ENJOYED THESE FOOD SAMPLES. I MET MANY MANAGERS OF THE GROCERY STORES WHO SEEMED TO LIKE ME THERE.
ANOTHER BUSINESS I HAD WAS SPEAKING WEEKLY WITH A BUSINESS NETWORKING GROUP WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO EXPOSE OUR TYPE OF WORK BY SPEAKING TO MEMBERS AND GIVING THEM SOME SAMPLES. MY WORK WAS AS A LIFE COACH AND IT TOOK ME 3 YEARS TO COMPLETE A COACHING COURSE BY PHONE IN ORDER TO GAIN A COACHING DIPLOMA AFTER 3 YEARS. I ADVERTISED MY BY CALLING PHONE IN ORDER TO GAIN A COACHING DIPLOMA AFTER 3 YEARS. I ADVERTISED MY COACHING BY CALLING COMPANY PERSONNEL FOLKS; LEADING TALKS AT LIBRARIES AND FINDING PLACES AS THE BUSINESS MEETING PLACE TO SPEAK TO GROUPS. OTHER GROUPS I SPOKE TO WERE ROTARY CLUBS, LION'S CLUBS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS. THEY GAVE ME GOOD SELF ESTEEM TO MAKE INTERACTIVE PRESENTATIONS .
ANOTHER TYPE OF BUSINESS WAS SPEAKING TO GROUPS ABOUT THE NATIVE AMERICANS OF THIS AREA. I BECAME USED TO GIVING OUTDOOR LECTURES TO ELDERHOSTEL GROUPS AT AT A HEALDSBURG RANCH.

LABOR DAY
-
I WENT TO A SMALL CHINA TOWN AND HAD A PRETTY GOOD TIME. I FOUND OUT THEY HAD METER MAIDS GIVING PEOPLE TICKETS. AND AND I FINALLY FOUND A PLACE TO PARK. THEN I WENT TO TO HAVE A SMALL LUNCH AT A CHINESE PLACE THAT HAD SOME GOOD FOOD.
I DECIDED TO MAKE MY WAY TO FISHERMAN'S WHARF..
- EVERYBODY WAS WEARING BACKPACKS AND I DECIDED IT WAS JUST TOO BUSY AND DECIDED TO LEAVE AS THIS HOLIDAY HAD EVERYONE SPENDING THE DAY TRAVELING OR BIKING AROUND THESE TOURISTY SPOTS.
I DECIDED TO GET SOME GRAPES AND OTHER FOOD. I DANCED AROUND A MALL THAT WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT SMALLER THAN INDOOR MALLS.
THE VIEW OF THE BAY AREA AND THE GOLDEN GATE WAS JUST QUITE BEAUTIFUL THAT DAY. SINCE I WORE LONG PANTS I WAS SWEATING EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ABOUT 75 DEGREES.. LATER ON IT WAS WARMER AND MOST PEOPLE HAD SHORTS ON AND MANY FOLKS WERE RIDING BIKES.. IT WAS INTERESTING THAT THE AREA HAD QUITE A BIT OF HUMIDITY. THERE WERE QUITE A FEW CRUISE SHIPS AND BOATS IN THE BAY.
