Lonya: We are fine and as you can see as touristy as possible. Horrible! Not possible otherwise.
Kitty: But it's perfectly alright. Why horrible?
Kitty: You both look happy, relaxed, bronzed, healthy... What more do you want?
Lonya: And we are. But you are always in a crowd of foreigners. Taking the same pictures. Buying the same things. Going to the same restaurants... So predictable! So artificial...
Lonya: In one respect we are different: we hardly ever take selfies! Just look at her:

Lonya: And she went on like this for half an hour or so. Oblivious to her surroundings. She probably didn't even know where she was!
Kitty: And where was she?
Lonya: Tulum temple on the Riviera Maya. Every structure rebuilt for tourists like her. Nothing here is authentic.

Lonya: This side is in its original condition. Can you see what I mean?
Kitty: Yes, I do but would't hold it against them. At least you can see in the reconstruction what these temples looked like. Otherwise you'd be visiting only heaps of rubble.
Kitty: Of course we have in Europe a different attitude to ancient monuments but who knows? Maybe Mexicans are right and not we?
Lonya: I'm not sure. I'll think about it.
Lonya: Maybe what I object most to is the fact that they don't explicitly say it's reconstruction. Seeing my first Maya temple I was in raptures until Thomas showed me those that haven't been reconstructed and explained the idea behind it.
Kitty: Oh stop it Lonya! Just enjoy your holidays and stop philosophizing. 
Lonya: You are probably right.
Lonya: It's not that much left of it. 10 more days. Somehow pity but I'm also looking forward to being back at home.
Lonya: Then we'll talk about it again.
Kitty: Enjoy as long as it lasts!
Lonya's having holidays. She doesn't like the fact that every foreigner does the same activities. Most of the structures there are reconstructed. Lonya objects to the fact that it's not explicitly said. Lonya is staying there for 10 more days.
