Uxmal

As part of this past Archaeological Monday, we visited the awe-inspiring site of Uxmal. Uxmal was unlike any other Maya or Aztec site I had seen in Mexico: it was stunning. From its scale and detail to its state of…

The Archaeological Site of Mayapan

After we visited the big, tourist archaeological site of Chichen Itza, impressive and worth seeing as it was, we did not like the seeming artificiality of it, and we were bummed by the fact that everything was kept at arm’s…

Chichen Itza

Yesterday we went to Chichen Itza, one of the largest Maya cities, a major archaeological site and a must-see tourist attraction when in Yucatan. We drove two hours through a few small towns and made a pit stop in one…

Celestun

A must stop while touring around Merida in the winter months (November-March) is Celestun. Celestun is a small fishing town located one-and-a-half hours northwest of Merida and is home to more than 200 bird species, featuring vast flocks of pink…

Port of Telchac

We made our way to the small port town of Telchac, which is about an hour drive away, yesterday. We did not know what to expect, as it was described as a “sleepy, little seaside town”, but, I guess it…

Tulum

After all of the excitement of a loud, crazy Mexican Christmas, a chance to unwind was definitely needed. So the entire family packed their bags and loaded up the cars for a family trip to an all-inclusive resort near Tulum,…

Chihuahua City

The last time I had visited Chihuahua City was March 2011, so you can imagine how excited I was to return home to where I grew up (and to bring Greg along too, I guess). The trip started early on…

San Miguel de Allende

Last week Valentina and I headed north to the state of Guanajuato for a three-day, two-night road-trip. Our first stop, San Miguel de Allende, was about a three-hour drive from Mexico City and a real slice of Mexicana. It was…

Tepotzotlan

On Tuesday, we visited a small town by the name of Tepotzotlán, and, once again, we were amazed by the amount of change that can happen in a short distance. We drove north out of Mexico City for about 45-minutes…
