Are there Cooties in the water?

One of the big fears when going to Mexico is "are there cooties in the water that will make me sick"?   We've all heard the horror stories of "Montezuma's Revenge" when drinking water in Mexico.  The "cooties" are things like bacteria, viruses, and parasites.  Water (and food) in less developed countries does tend to have more cooties than in the United States.

A few weeks after getting back from our vacation/research trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico,  it was time to move on to the next step; understanding the legal processes and requirements of going to another country as a resident versus a tourist. 

Wedding Renewal & Research Trip in Playa del Carmen

As we mentioned in our previous post, visiting a place is not like living there.  With all the research we were doing online, it was time to take a short trip to do some hands-on research.  In addition to doing research, we also decided to turn our trip into something really special and fun.
