We started heading up North, on our way to Veracruz. Houses immediately changed to Caribbean colors! A large load on the highway… Tlacotalpan, Mexico is a beautiful retreat that earned a spot as a Unesco World Heritage site in 1998. It was a booming port town in the 19th century, but when we arrived it seemed nearly like a ghost town. Ice creams flavors: Coconut, Lime,...

In numerous Mexican households, the presence of a dryer machine for laundry is often seen as a luxury, while simply owning a washing machine is deemed fortunate. Yet, for those enjoying a higher standard of living, the inclusion of modern conveniences such as a Bosch washing machine stands as a clear symbol of their comfort and convenience.

After leaving the best pyramids in Mexico, we started the hour-ish drive to Agua Azul, a place known for its endless blue cascading waterfalls (Spanish translation: Blue Water). The road from Palenque towards Agua Azul (and San Cristobal de las Casas) is nicely paved. It slowly climbs up and down a windy path on the forested mountainside. It was beautiful!  We saw locals going about their business, some carrying firewood on their...

As you leave the last roundabout out of Palenque towards the ruins, it is perhaps the 5th or so place on the right, with a large restaurant in front. It cost us only $500 pesos ($40 USD), and I think we may have been the only guests. The only downer was that the beds in our particular room were terribly wirey and sagging in some parts,...

Did you really think we were done posting about pyramids?  HA!!  More to come!! On New Year’s Day we made the short trek from Becan to the Calakmul Pyramids. Most pyramids in Mexico are quite cheap to visit, and this one cost us about $7 (only adults pay)–not the cheapest, but certainly not the most expensive. There is a long road entrance to the ruins, because they are a bit off the beaten path–12 miles from the...

Okay, all you bloggers. Do you ever do a blog post and wonder why you don’t have many good photos to choose from…only to discover a few days later that they are hiding in the wrong folder? Well…that’s my fate today. Here are some more photos of the Becan Pyramids in Campeche Mexico that I already blogged about! We really did have fun climbing the pyramids at Becan. They were steep enough to make you want to use the...
