		<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[One of the most frequent questions I&#8217;ve gotten recently is how the Yucatan is looking after Hurricane Dean, which hit in August 2007. Mahahual and the cruise-ship port Puerta Costa Maya were severely hit.  But now it looks like everything is moving along again&#8211;and in fact, a bit better than in the past. I [...]]]></description>

		<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[You now reach the Bonampak site (pp. 314-316) and the village of Lacanha Chansayab via the same turn off the Frontier Highwayâ€”thereâ€™s a large concrete shade structure/exhibit space by the side of the road. You can take a cab from here directly to the site, or to the village. If you have your own car, [...]]]></description>

Re: the description on p. 309, you can now buy a site entry ticket at the museum and enter at the small gate across the road. But you will still have to then hike uphill to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hostal Ambar (p. 305) has changed hands, and is now a very nice small hotel called El Chechen. Rooms are M$300 per nightâ€”very good value for the pretty location. (Ambar itself has moved into the main part of townâ€”itâ€™s cheap, but not great.)
Posada San Vicente (p. 305) cannot be recommendedâ€”it is no longer notably cheaper [...]]]></description>

Unfortunately, a lot of the museums are closed for renovationsâ€”La Casa Siempreviva (p. 294) and the Casa Museo Carlos Pellicer (p. 295) were damaged, as was the Museo de Historia (p. 295). Also, the Museo Regional de Antropologia (p. 296) in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Edzna now has a sound-and-light show that runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm; admission is M$112. 
Grutas de Xtacumbilxunaan (p. 283) also has had a sound-and-light show added, and the price has been raised to M$50, plus M$30 for translation headsets. It is a rather dull show, and not worth the money.

		<description><![CDATA[The Castelmar hotel (mentioned in the Reforma review, p. 274) has been totally (and attractively) redone, and now runs about M$800 a night, which is a good price for a place with a pool.
Hotel Lopez (p. 274) has a pool now as well, making it excellent value.

The Museo de las Estelas is now the Museo de Arquitectura Maya, and is open the same hours as the rest of the city museums.
Thereâ€™s a small pirate museum in the Puerta de Tierra now (entrance M$30) â€“ [...]]]></description>
