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.
Imagine a flourishing city in the 7th century - nearly 1400 years ago! Now, imagine what it would look like today.
We had the incredible opportunity to visit Palenque, located in the Chiapa mountains in southern Mexico. Palenque flourished as a Mayan city in the 7th century, then was absorbed into the jungle of cedar, mahogany and sopadilla trees till the 20th century. Since then, it continues to be excavated and restored.
Viewing the coast 300 yards out in the water is a very different feel than walking on the same beach. Both are rather wonderful!
We had the fun opportunity of joining friends for a boat tour along the coast near Sisal, and then we transferred to flat-bottom boats in the lagoons to see more birds and beauty.
Flamingos were a given. But…an alligator?!
And, so much more!
The tour was more than we expected!
Celestun is known for its flamingos. Our neighbors invited us to join them for this bout tour. They have done it several times and never tire of it.
‘Downtown’ cenote (underground swimming hole)!
An international flair.
Fascinating historical convent.
And, beautiful ‘Street of the Friars’, leading to the neighborhood of Sisal (the same name of the town we live in)!
We knew about the cenote. The rest were all surprises in our recent adventure to Valladolid.
Look what we found in Valladolid!
The professional sports teams of Colorado (minus the Nuggets) showed up as Mayan masks in Valladolid!
And, no, that is not Ben sticking out his tongue. It’s just the reflection of his chin through the mask! :)
