I had a chance to visit the port city of Veracruz in Mexico last weekend. The first thing which crossed my mind upon reaching there was the memory of hot humid weather back home in Chennai. The place was beautiful and had a distinct look and feel of its own. People speaking in a different Spanish accent, music played all across the downtown, delicious food & beautiful girls ;) were some of the attractions of the place.

Apart from being a tourist place, Veracruz is an important center of commerce too. This was the point of entrance when the Spanish first invaded Mexico. I took this image near the port where a huge ship was being unloaded of it's goods.
