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.
When you’re in Colorado and you’ve never been to Northern Yucatan, you close your eyes and point at the map and say, “I’ll try that town”.
We didn’t really do that, but we made the best choice we could from a distance, knowing at least a little of what we wanted.
Welcome to our home in Sisal!
We will tell you why we are in Sisal in the next post, but we couldn’t wait to have you ‘join us’ in this home! It is appropriately called The Nautical House.
Ben walks you around the outside of the property (and to the beach!) in the first video. Carma shares the inside of the home in the second video. Enjoy!
In the northwest corner of the Yucatan Peninsula, in the middle of a wildlife sanctuary (ie. flamingos!), sits a relatively busy fishing village called Celestun. We have learned the catch of the day, during this time of year, is octupus.
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!
