Some things about Isla are definitely a little weird. For example we took to calling it ‘gringo go-cart island.’ But it is an unquestionably beautiful place. Seriously magical with Listerine-hued water, soft fluffy white sand, out of this world coconut french toast***<\/a> and even the occasional Mermaid mansion!<\/a><\/p>\n

\n***I would go so far as to say that if you go to Isla Mujeres without trying the french toast from Mango Cafe you are doing yourself a grave disservice. It was not anything like traditional french toast and it was as good as everyone says it is – and then some!<\/p>\n

We rented an apartment through Airbnb**<\/a> and it reaffirmed what we love about renting apartments in new places. The little neighborhood of Colonoia La Gloria was just a short motorbike ride away from the main tourist drag, but felt like worlds apart. It was amazing to see how quickly it changed from feeling like we were in an adult Disneyland to feeling like we were back in Mexico. We whizzed by people calling out to one another in Spanish while sitting on the backs of idling motorbikes and ordering drinks to-go from the impromptu Michelada stands set up on the side of the street and dodged around children playing in front of the watchful eyes of parents or neighbors fanning themselves on their front stoops. <\/p>\n
