Rome, Italy

For our first day in Rome, we hit the streets for a walking tour of the city’s historic core. The tour began at the, for reasons beyond my grasp, famous Spanish Steps, which are just plain old steps done in…

As has become routine on our travels, we began our stay in Munich with a three-hour walking tour of the city’s historic centre. We started in Munich’s main square, Marianaplatz in front of the Old Town Hall, from there we…

Berlin, Germany

From Amsterdam, we entered unfamiliar lands: Deutschland. Neither of us had ever been and did not know what to expect from Berlin or Germany, but needless to say, we had a great time. Let me just preface this post by saying,…

After a very Canadian, World War II experience at Juno Beach the day before, Tuesday was dedicated to World War I, The Great War, from a French and German perspective, with a visit to Fort Douaumont as the centrepiece of…

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

Hacienda Yaxcopoil

With so many haciendas in the area it is hard to pick which ones to visit. After some thought we decided on Hacienda Yaxcopoil, only 30 minutes away from Merida. The Hacienda dates back to the 17th century during the…

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…
