Our Holiday in Mexico

We have just returned from a vacation at a place called Rocky Point in Mexico - it was very touristy but perfect for what we needed as a family - lots of swiming, exploring the markets & pot shops, reading, eating great Mexican food, & drinking nice wine (well I did, Gareth is not allowed as he is on strong stuff for the Valley fever). It has given myself and Gareth a little taster & we both would love to return & see more of Mexico... When we did travel out of the tourist areas we were struck by the sheer poverty, it reminded me of the extreme poor & rich divide in Rio when I worked with the street children in Brazil. So it also sparked lots of discussion about how we should respond, as we have so much and saw those with so little.
