Analysis of Over The Border
Over the Mexican border in towns and villages stop
Footprints of the pirate hoarder
Still there in the markets you shop
Ancient surroundings of Cancun; exotica of Cozumel
Explore the great Mayan ruins
Bright colored sea creatures as well
Ixtapa-Zihuatanjo, where mariachis serenade
Cultural artifacts on show
Place of pre-Columbian trade
Stunning is Puerto Vallarta, watch whales in The Banderas Bay
Here filmed: "Night Of The Iguana"
Glitterati by night and day
Sunbathe on the Mazatlan beaches, ride horseback at the foothills above
Hear what the Sierra Madre teaches
Brickyards for adobes of love
Escape to Cabo San Lucas, a strategic promontory
Safe refuge from storms and ruckus
Cast lines for the big fish story
