On the occasion of a major update to my Cool Cancun & Isla Mujeres travel app (for iPhones and now for Android* too!), here’s just a few reasons to love this part of Mexico. If you’re a regular reader, you know I have a soft spot for Cancun. It’s why I wrote the app, to share all the cool things no one knows about it…and Isla Mujeres and Puerto Morelos too.
Oh, so THAT's what that stands for...Public bench/library in the park in downtown Cancun. Just register to get a key, and check out books as you like.Coco Bongo promo dudes hiding out from photo-mad tourists in Cancun.Genuine maid cafe in downtown Cancun. Was just opening--unclear whether staff really dress as maids.Aw, poor little Chocomilk! Cutest dog name ever.Genius can with screw-top lid. And always good mango juice.Ana is ruling the market for haircuts for dogs. She has totally blanketed Isla Mujeres in signs.Man bites shark.How you might feel after too many days on Isla Mujeres...This drug is available even in the Cancun airport pharmacies. Not sure if it causes or cures.Somehow it's more existential with 'a' at the beginning.Queens of Carnival on Isla Mujeres, on display at the cultural centerGrown man with a Spongebob purse.

Just wanted to let everyone now that a new version of my iPhone app, Cool Cancun & Isla Mujeres is out. And it should now really be titled Cool Cancun & Isla Mujeres & Puerto Morelos–but that’s just a little unwieldy, no? I added 20 new listings for my favorite under-the-radar beach town, which is only about 20 minutes south of Cancun Airport–so an easy day-trip, or a great destination on its own. The price is still a bargain at $1.99–spread the word to anyone who’s headed down that way for spring break or beyond.
And I just got a huge box of the brand new Moon New Mexico guide! They look great, if I do say so. They have more color photos, and overall, I think the book is just a bit tighter all around. I found some really excellent restaurants, and got out to some even farther corners of the Land of Enchantment. And, as usual, the update website is there as backup–I’ve already got one small change posted, in fact. (Such is a guidebook writer’s life…)
Watch this space for a book giveaway later this week!
