SPRING BREAK 09

Just kidding. It's not my spring break, but it was spring break for a lot of schools in the US. And I met about half of them in Acapulco. I had no idea so many students actually went to Mexico for spring break. Most of them didn't know Spanish at all, so they booked through this company...

3 Days in San Crisobal de Las Casas

This was our third day in San Cristobal de Las Casas. Population is around 100,000. It´s a cool city, literally and figurativly. It has a very distinct arts culture here with a somewhat progressive attitude about the environment, at least that what I got from the hostel I was staying in. It is...

Down the Mayan Coast

Sailing is not an easy way to travel, even with the many new digital technologies of our modern era. That's what makes it so exciting! You are pitting yourself and your boat against the elements and trying to ensure that those elements work in your favour! So, having backpacked across the...

Fun in Isla Mujeres

We arrived in Isla after 4 days of major wind changes: experiencing everything from no wind to too much wind. We were ready to celebrate and wanted to go and EAT. We knew that our favourite place to eat, Rene y Rennee, would be closed on Sunday. However, we had a joyous meeting with them for...

The Mayan´s were amazing people

We made it to Palenque with a little sleep on the bus and got a hotel across the street. Most of the hotel have cost around 200-250 Pesoes or $17-$20 Canadian. After sleeping in today we headed for lunch then to the Mayan ruins. We had a terific tour guide named Artero. He really liked us...

Bad luck. Should have checked first.

This morning we thought we would get an early start but not to early. We left the hotel at 9am went and got breakfast and made it to the bus station by 9:45 fully expecting a 7 hour bus trip to Palenque. Turns out the bus left at 8:30am and there wasn´t another one until 9pm. What to do? We...

Last day in Merida

Today was Em´s B-day. It was a pretty low key day. We had planned on going to Progresso but found out from these travellers we had met at our hotel from Chile that is wasn´t worth the trip. We took their advice. They gave us an alternate plan to go check out the Cenotes (big holes created by...

My Birthday Dinner

Em took me to a nice little restaurant a couple hours after the tour. There was a live band and a nice atmosphere with a table looking out onto the street. The food was great but to much for us to finish. We basically had a huge plate of meat with different sauces some onion and lettuce which...
