We are currently still unplugged in our super secret location! 😀 If you can give us some link sharing love, it would be much appreciated as we should be back in contact on the 28th of June. But in the mean time, we will bring you a bit of Belize to get you through your… Continue reading Episode 5 – Momentos: Belize
Lets face it, travel can be really hard. With so many places to see and constant stress on our bank accounts and calendars, sometimes you need to stop and do absolutely nothing. Caye Caulker, Belize is the perfect place for nothing. This tiny island made the perfect recharge zone for us after running around Mexico… Continue reading Belize – Don’t Stress, Do Nothing
While the outside of the cathedral can be quite deceiving, I was blown away by the light that entered this holy place. For .00000005 seconds I thought about how cool it would be to be a Catholic. The wall in Santo Domingo Cathedral is just stunning.
We finally left Mexico (temporarily) and it took a trip to another world to make it happen. The trip from Palenque, Mexico to Flores, Guatemala resulted in a number of ‘firsts’ for us. We took our first water taxi, crossed into our first Central American country, stayed on our first lake island, and took our… Continue reading The Ruins of Tikal – Our Expedition on Yavin 4
Over the next two weeks (we will be internet-less for the next two for those who are savvy on what is going on) we will be posting a few of our videos while gone. If you could give us some comment love on what you would like to see in the future with our episodes,… Continue reading Episode 4 – Misol Ha and Agua Azul
Palenque, Mexico (Chiapas, Mexico) during the summer is hotter than two rats making love in a wool sock. It is advisable to stay far, far away during April and May as they are the hottest months. Being budget travelers, we stayed in a 3 person private room (since we were still traveling with Jaime from… Continue reading Slowly Melting Away in Palenque, Mexico
There are a few ‘when in Rome’ moments you need to partake in when you travel and chocolate in Oaxaca is one of them. Even you chocolate-is-okay-but-I’d-rather-consume-other-foodstuffs people will appreciate it. Sure, chocolate is delicious but think about the fact that you are also partaking in the preservation of an old Aztec recipe. They used… Continue reading Chocolate Should Be a Food Group – Oaxaca, Mexico
It only took my 2 weeks and 8 hours today (3 1/2 hours into the upload the power cut off in the neighborhood causing me to lose everything on You Tube 65% in) to upload the newest Episode. We are taking a different approach to this one a bit - most people asked for a… Continue reading Episode 3 – Volcanoes in Mexico – Cuexcomate
Besting some of the most amazing meals we’ve had on our trip thus far, it is easy to see why Oaxaca, Mexico is considered the culinary capital of Mexico. However, of all the wonderful eats, nothing comes close to our lunch in the “Mercado de la comida”. A couple blocks south of the zocalo, all… Continue reading The Magical Meat Market of Oaxaca, Mexico
One of the suggested day trips in and around Puebla should be checking out Cholula, Mexico. Honestly I went into it somewhat blindly. Rey (our Couchsurfing host) was heading out there and suggested we tag along. I wasn't about to turn down the suggestion. Surfing with a CS host is kinda like going to a… Continue reading Cholula, Mexico – More Than Just Hot Sauce
Puebla, Mexico was a city that we had high expectations for. Every person we talked to back in the States mentioned how amazing and beautiful the city was. With all the descriptions, we had to be there. And you know what? I think we held it in too high regard when we first came into… Continue reading Getting a Bit More Intimate with Puebla, Mexico
As one of the few successful trips we made during our time in Mexico City, Teotihuacan was the first full set of ruins we explored. Though we don’t have much to compare it to yet, it was well worth the time and money investments. Arriving at the ruins, we were immediately impressed with the view… Continue reading Teotihuacan – Ruins Outside Mexico City
Our time in Mexico City was nothing like what we’d imagined. As one of the largest cities in the world, we knew we weren’t going to be able to spend enough time here to really give this city justice so we picked a few points of interest and set off. We had planned on spending… Continue reading Attempting to Discover Mexico City, Mexico
It has been over 30 days. I can’t believe it. Now I’m concerned that this entire year is just going to fly by! Regardless, I thought I would give a little month in review for those of you curious about what has been happening besides what we post in our blog. Presenting our first month… Continue reading Our First Month in Review
This post was supposed to turn out quite differently. Templo Mayor is a special post. Before leaving on our trip, the one thing my father asked me to do for him was to visit the Tenochtitlan ruins in Mexico City at Templo Mayor. One of his life long dreams is to finally visit the Aztec… Continue reading A Post For My Father – Templo Mayor, Mexico City
