Summary:

Ron Butler never dreamed Mexico would capture his heart and his soul. However after crisscrossing the country, he was seduced by its charms, rhythms and melodies. He goes off the beaten path in Acapulco and Cancun, and walks in the footsteps of movie stars who have been enamored of this land south-of-the-border. Informative and helpful, "Dancing Alone in Mexico" will help even seasoned travelers get the most out of their trips to Mexico.
