Campeche Mexico - Located in southeast Mexico, it is bordered by the mexican states of Tabasco to the southwest, Yucatán to the northeast, Quintana Roo to the east, and by the Country of Guatemala to the south. It has a coastline to the west with the Gulf of Mexico. The state capital, also called Campeche, was declared a World Heritage Site in 1997. The formation of the state began with the city, which was founded in 1540 as the Spanish began the conquest of the Yucatán Peninsula. The city was a rich and important port during the colonial period, but it declined after Mexico's independence. Campeche was part of the province of Yucatán but split off in the mid-19th century, mostly due to political friction with the city of Mérida.
Much of Campeche mexico state's recent economic revival is due to the discovery of petroleum offshore in the 1970s,
The name of Campeche is derived from the Maya name of a settlement called “Ah-Kin-Pech” where the city of Campeche is now. When the Spanish first arrived to the area in 1517, they called it Lazaro, since "the day of our landing was St. Lazarus' Sunday". The native name means “place of snakes and ticks.”
Regional foods here include

Get the gaudy_pink_camera mug.The morose and depressed sidekick of Ferris Bueller. A man who seems to hate the world. Cameron reluctantly lets Ferris get control of his father's 1961 Ferrari GT 250 California to cut school for an insane adventure. In an attempt to roll back the odometer on the Ferrari, the car is left in reverse, and Cameron stupidly kicks the car off the jack and it flies through the back of the garage to a horrible demise at the bottom of a cliff. He finally makes a transition in his life and decides to take the heat from his dad regarding the car and not let Ferris take the fall for him. Those who fit any part of the description below are considered a "Cameron"
Ferris about Cameron Frye:
Cameron has never been in love - at least, nobody's ever been in love with him. If things don't change for him, he's gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she's gonna treat him like shit, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won't respect him, 'cause you can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work.

Get the Cameron Frye mug.He’s been hurt, he has a past, but he’s probably the best guy you’ll ever meet. Don’t break him, because he’s already been broken. He loves jokes, and he treats his girlfriend like a queen. He will give you everything he has, and then some. He always knows more than he is letting on, and can hide his emotions very well. If he needs to talk, please listen to him. He loves love, and he loves giving love, he just wants to be loved in return. If you ever get a Cameron in your life, don’t let him go.
I love him, he’s my Cameron.

Get the Cameron mug.A way of making the government yet more money, cynically disguised as a way of stopping accidents. As with most of this government's ways of conning the public, anyone with an IQ of over 15 can work out it's just a con. Often speeding signs are not clearly visible (my mother was caught out like this), and in Luton a couple of years ago there were ten (!) police officers standing on a roadside stopping cars at random in the hope that one of the drivers might not have insurance or an up-to-date tax disc. Given the crime rate in Luton, is anyone out there seriously going to tell me they had nothing better to do? But back to the point. I'm not in favour of speeding (I saw a lunatic using a housing estate as a race track), but 5% of accidents are due to speeding. Speed cameras can't stop people driving like they're on the dodgems. And now people are having to keep a constant eye on their speed-o-meters, thus are distracted from the road ahead. Nice one, New Labour.
In court this morning a man was fined £200 and 18 months loss of license after being caught speeding by one of the speed cameras. In the next court-room a man was let off with a warning for GBH.
