They just don't make them like they used to...

Yesterday we went to a nearby indigenous village called Amatlán, where we met with the partner of one of the staff people. Our speaker (who doesn't want his name shared) was a Nautl man whose family has lived on the same land for a thousand years (give or take a few). Their land is communal,...

Day tour to Celestun

On Sunday we embarked on a tour to Celestun. A little place on the East Coast that is famous for the migration of flamingos. They come to the shallow waters of this area to feed. They are a different kind of bird to watch and seeing them take flight is cool but after awhile they get...

What a long travel day

Today is a travel day to Merida. Only about 350 km from Cancun but by bus it took a long time. We ended up getting a later start than we had hoped for but figured we would still get to Merida before sunset. We were able to catch the 12:00pm bus from Cancun. The sales guy had asked if we want...

Touring the Island

Today we rented a Moped and cruised the island. It is a very small island so we were able to do two loops. We hit the eastern most point of the island and climbed a lighthouse, went to a turtle farm which was pretty neat and snuck into a beach resort to do a little snorkelling. That last one...

Three days on Isla Mujeres

The Isla is beautiful. The hostel as I said is great. It is run by very nice people some of whom are volunteers from around the world (they get free room and board). The rooms are very clean and the food they serve is delicious and inexpensive as far as prices on the island go. Good thing we...

It was a long trip

We made it! After 10 hours of travelling through two airports and a very close connecting flight in Salt Lake we landed in Cancun at 3 pm. At the airport we had to navigate ourselves through the Cancun public transit system to the port. Unexpectedly we were a great team right off the bat and...

Mexico City!

Ok, so yesterday we went on a trip to the US embassy for a briefing about what they do there and such. We've been hearing a lot about migration from the perspective of Mexicans who migrate to the US (both legally and illegally), so it was really interesting to hear about US-Mexican relations...

Ixtlilco el Grande and the ex-hacienda

Sorry I haven't written in a while, but I haven't had access to a computer since Saturday. We left Sunday morning to go to a small rural town called Ixtlilco el Grande, where we stayed with host families. I was with Katelyn and Kay, the other two vegetarians, haha. Our family was really...
