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?

From Plant to Rope

The growing and harvesting and processing and machinery of rope making from sisal, aptly demonstrated by our incredible tour guide and rope making crew from the Hacienda, left us in awe. It’s probably better seen than described on paper, so Carma took videos along with pictures.

From Starbucks to Hacienda Sotuta de Peon

We have 20 feet of sisal rope. It’s coiled and ready to hang on our wall as soon as we have a place of our own. We watched it being made by hand on a day of Olympic proportions when it comes to fascinating memories.
