		On Friday night the tiny tree-filled plaza of Celestun (Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico) was alive with the sound of disco rythms with thumping stereo, big screen, fenced off dance area and enthusiastic DJ, all organized by a huge national beer producer.
		Celestun showed the "outsiders" that if you do not discuss and plan your actions together with the community, they might just end up ignoring all your impressive plans.
		Celestun for example has become known for its flamingos and stunning mangrove-lined estuary, so the attraction is definitely nature.

		This tour extension was part of my plan from the beginning, for I wanted to see the main feeding area of the American Flamingo, as well as other species of waterfowl and shorebirds among the mangrove forest and open waters of this shallow estuary of 2-meter deep waters.
		I was most impressed with the exciting 10-seat covered motor boat trip across the estuary to the flamingo feeding area, including a stop at a fresh-water spring with tiger herons and fish below the elevated walkways.
		While our lunch was being cooked, I walked across the beach to firm, wet sand and down the beach a half-block where I discovered not one, but two lighthouses within 40 feet of each other.
