We have been in Chicxulub a week! Chicxulub is a fishing village on the north end of the Yucatan Peninsula.

We spent the first 6 weeks in Merida. A week ago we came to Chicxulub. Chicxulub (blue pin on map) is approximately an hour north of Merida.

The last night of our “Life in Merida” trial was spent at an Italian restaurant a couple hundred feet from where we had lived. We hadn’t tried it yet but knew it received the highest ratings. We found out why. Pictures of the food don’t begin to do it justice. The ambience, service and flavors were deliciously memorable!

This free walking tour came highly recommended. It’s offered daily at 9:30am in the heart of Merida (Plaza Grande).

There were 20-25 people in our group and everyone of us (some couples) were from a different country!

Our talented tour guide gave the tour in Spanish, Mayan and English.

Swimming in a Cenote!

How do you wind down from an amazing tour!

Take a swim in an underground river flowing through a cave that has water so crystalline that you simply see the bottom as far as the light goes. We were just told there about 3000 cenotes in the Yucatan.

In the Presence of a Master

Have you ever met someone that that leaves you in awe? Not the ones that are famous that you never thought a normal person like one of us could meet, but one that no one knew about that left you feeling like you had just been in a master’s presence?
