I took the elevator up to the Presidential Suite, located on the 17th floor of the Club Tower. The elevator doors opened and I immediately saw a very large piece of art that decorates the entrance to the suite. I walked past it and into the living room. From there, all I [...]

After hearing lots of good things about Needful Things, a used bookstore in downtown Cancun, I decided to go check it out. I live just a few blocks from the store and have passed by many times, but today was my first visit to the store. I was greeted by Nancy Wilson, the [...]
