		<description><![CDATA[This is a huge question that a lot of Americans have been worried about, following all the violence in Mexico&#8217;s border cities.
The short answer: yes, it&#8217;s completely safe. Mexico is a very big place. Not visiting the Yucatan because of crime in Juarez is sort of like not going to Hawaii because the murder rate [...]]]></description>

Unfortunately, the excellent Museo de Arte Folklorico in the hotel zone is slated to close soon and move to Xcaret.  No details on a precise [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Writing about Puerto Morelos is hard&#8211;it seems like new restaurants open there every month.  Here are the major changes:
Marlin Bleu is shut.
Dona Triny&#8217;s has moved into the former Marlin Bleu spot, on the plaza.
Bodo&#8217;s has moved out of Hacienda Morelos, into a space on Ninos Heroes, opposite Posada Amor.
Mama&#8217;s Bakery has moved a little [...]]]></description>

Playa del Carmen and Tulum have both grown a lot, and I found several great additions to the book. Overall, I think it&#8217;s a pretty solid reflection of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Night-time tours of the Tulum ruins recently started. I haven&#8217;t been yet, but the reports sound good&#8211;this isn&#8217;t a standard sound-and-light situation where you sit and watch. There&#8217;s an audio component, but you get to walk around. The cost is M$220, which includes the audio headsets, and the ruins are open from 8pm to 10pm.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m always on the lookout to good maps of the Yucatan peninsula. Rough Guides actually publishes a good one, but I know that it hasn&#8217;t gotten a really solid updating in a few years, and because there&#8217;s so much growth all over the peninsula, even a few years makes a difference.
But today the good people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These two hotels&#8211;one at Coba and one at Chichen Itza&#8211;are no longer run by Club Med, as the book says. They&#8217;re now run by the Islander Collection, and the contact information is 987/872-9300 ext. 8101, www.islandercollection.com. Rates and all facilities are basically still the same.

		<description><![CDATA[The main beach (Playa Caribe, p. 99) is looking much better&#8211;deeper sand, fewer rocks. But I would still advise against staying directly on the beach, except for a couple of specific hotels. With the real estate situation in Playa so feverish, it appears that many older beach hotels are letting maintenance slide while waiting for [...]]]></description>

Ide is now on Av 5 between C 10 and C 12.
Juan&#8217;s Hammocks is gone.
La Calaca is closed.
Que Pequeno es el Mundo is now just called El Mundo.
