This was a picture from my recent vacation in Cancun. My brother and his fiancé took a picture with Mayan impersonators and they chose this as their background (StarBucks) in the heart of a small city while waiting in line for a ride into Tulum. 

Tulum is a Mayan ruin from 5th Century AD. It seems so Authentic. But have we taken away the authenticity?

Is authenticity something that can be taken away? 

Has authenticity ever been there?
