I Love Mexican Vacations

Edna Pontellier and her husband are vacationing with their two boys at a resort in Grand Isle. Edna is an upper-middle class woman who has married into the Creole elite when she begins to believe that there is more to life than societal status and frivolous wealth. At Grand Isle she enters into an extramarital relationship with Robert LeBrun, the son of the woman who runs the resort. She flirts with Robert and seeks his support of her dissatisfaction with materialism, until he realizes it is apparent that something must be done to shake her constant attention to him. He “decides” to go to Mexico. Edna is lonesome when he leaves, but on her return to New Orleans with her family, she suddenly starts to do things differently: she will not receive guests or makes social calls; she starts drawing and painting; she takes lessons on the piano with the notoriously unpleasant Mademoiselle Reisz who also listens to Edna’s reading of Robert’s letters. Her husband leaves for New York on a long business trip, and Edna sees her chance to move out of his house into a place of her own. She throws herself a going away party and discovers that Robert is returning. She is then called to her friend Adele’s house to help with the delivery of her latest child. Being witness to the birth has a terrible effect on Edna. In the meantime, she learns that Robert, despite all his promises of love, has left her. She experiences an “awakening” of her awareness of the truth surrounding her entire situation. She travels alone to Grand Isle, goes out swimming, naked, into the ocean, giving herself over to memories of the past and to drowning.

Francis Hopkinson Smith (1838-1915) was an American author, artist and engineer. He was a descendant of Francis Hopkinson, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Smith became a contractor in New York City and did much work for the federal government including the foundation for the Bartholdi Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. His vacations were spent sketching in the White Mountains, in Cuba and in Mexico. He also visited and sketched in Venice, Constantinople and the Netherlands. He illustrated and published numerous travelogues, such as Well-Worn Roads (1887), A White Umbrella in Mexico (1889) and The Venice of To-day (1897). His novels and short stories are especially felicitous in their portrayal of the Old South. Among them are: Colonel Carter of Cartersville (1891), A Gentleman Vagabond and Some Others (1895), Tom Grogan (1896), The Fortunes of Oliver Horn (1902), The Under Dog (1903) and The Tides of Barnegat (1906).

I know a few months ago they told us citizens not to travel to mexico because of the drug wars going on and what not but how is it now? Cancun area or cozumel? Any one know? The wife and I are looking to vacation there.

Oye Gordo!! Travel agents are obligated ,on advice from their lawyers, to notify or advise anyone of any potential risk to their lives. This absolves them of any negligence in the event of someones demise.
I am sure you are aware of the 250,000 murders in the U.S in the past ten years Have you seen ONE??
Ther have been 10 if not less murders in Cancun, of American tourists in the past 10 years. I ask you ? where are you safer??
