Welcome to our site!
Our goal with this site is to keep family and friends updated on our adventures. We want to stay connected with you! We hope to use this blog as a way to do that.
We will be sharing our thoughts on why we decided to do what we’re doing, how we decided to go where we are going, and then let you discover and explore the areas with us as we post images, videos and thoughts about what we are experiencing.
If you have questions or just want to get a hold of us, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Long walk-able beaches. Sounds of the Gulf reaching the shoreline. Clean downtown. Fresh coconut water.
Those are just some of the sites, sounds and tastes(!) we enjoyed as we explored Telchac during our ’northern fishing villages’ tour.
In our goal to find the ‘right’ area for us, we hired a touring guide to introduce us to the 6-8 fishing villages along the northern shore of the Yucatan Peninsula. Our favorite was Telchac. (stay tuned as we found an even ‘more favorite’ since then!)
We celebrated Ben’s birthday on the beach in Progreso!
Our celebration included
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.
