Mexico is a land of vast deserts, dense jungles, pristine beaches, and rich history. Bordered by the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea on the other, Mexico spans over 760,000 square miles of land in the southern portion of North America.
Cancún is situated in the southeastern tip of Mexico. About 90 miles from the westernmost point of Cuba, Cancún marks the transitional location between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. The famed beaches of Cancún display the western Caribbean Ocean in all of its divine, blue beauty.
In keeping with the tradition of Cancún being regarded as the classic college student spring break destination, my friend from high school and I reunited for a spring break below the border.
