Regrets.

From 13 Veracruz

If I had this trip to do all over again, I would have taken pictures of all the hotel keys I've had.

Large plastic badges. Thick bands of hand-toolled leather. Small planks of wood, seared with branding tools. Small metal dogtags. I'm sure the day of the code cards will come to every hotel and these will be a thing of the past.

This is truly the Golden Age of the bizarre hotel key chains of Mexico.
