Progreso, Mexico is actually one of my favorite ports. It's
still old Mexico, for now, give it 10 years and it will look
like Cozumel, yet for now still a good place, with good hole
in the wall restaurants.
The only thing I really have a problem with is the vendors,
they will hound you to buy something, anything, family
members..ANYTHING!
I came off ship one time with my New Orleans Saints
visor, my Saints Lanyard, my Saints tank top, you knew
who my team was! Yet this one little man, who spoke no
English, followed me around for 2 hours with a Saints
backpack. Evidently, he felt my ensemble was not
complete! I told him no in every language I knew..no, neit,
nada..even went full Cajun on him simply Mais no!
I actually love my backpack!! But damn...yeah in Progreso
you gonna buy something...bring money!
Have a great day!
