The day didn’t start off so hot when we walked out of the hotel to find our tire flat. In Mexico they offer you roadside assistance for a few bucks a day on your rental car, which I always turn down, so we whipped out the spare and were rolling … Read More
Izamal Yellow
In the past the Yucatan wasn’t very high on our list of places to go in Mexico. This visit has made up for that to some degree. There is a lot to see and do. We still prefer the Pacific coast, but have been happy to discover there is more … Read More
Isla Mujeres Life
A few more days bumming around Isla Mujeres. Clean beaches, clear water, good food, and color everywhere. It’s a great island for getting around. Taxis are fifty pesos to anywhere, or if you are alone it’s just 15 pesos to jump in the taxi with other people. Our typical afternoon … Read More
Around Isla
Isla Mujeres is a small island. There isn’t a ton to do other than swim and eat, so that’s how we spend most of our days. This guy ended up here during the storm a few days earlier. Not sure what the heck he was doing out on the North … Read More

After a few weeks on the island it was time to run off on a road trip to show the kids a few of the sites around the Yucatan Peninsula. First, jump on the ferry over to Cancun. From there it’s a bit of a pain to get to a … Read More
Taco Life
Slow down. Much of our family’s existence revolves around tacos. We love them in all shapes and sizes, with steak, fish, and chicken, both fancy and unadorned. This particular taco was fancy, and delicious. A small Argentinian owned place where the chef came out during the meal to ask if … Read More
Local Isla
Ouest finally got a chance to try out the mermaid tail Santa brought her this year. I was surprised how quickly she got used to it, and how fast she was able to swim with it on. In a race across the pool she was taking me down. Playa Centro … Read More
