Future Spanish heartbreaker - I got to talking to her parents on the scenic cruise, and turns out they are Mexican, but Aitana (or was it Aidana? Either way, a very unique name) was born in Barcelona. The father is pursuing his Ph. D there.
I asked them why Barcelona and the husband responded "Because deep down we hope that we can stay there once I am finished." He probably wanted to say "Because of the Spanish women." but couldn't with his wife there.
Anyway, they are from Tabasco (who knew that it was more than just a hot sauce?) and suggested I one day check out Chiapas and Canon del something ... supposedly beautiful beach areas relatively free of tourists.
