Back in 2006, as our time in Ireland โ๏ธ was coming to an end, we had a unique opportunity. We opened a large map ๐บ๏ธ of the U.S. & asked ourselves, “if we could live anywhere, where would we want that to be?โ we had a short list of criteria… We had friends in Denver, […]

Stateside ๐บ๐ธ
Our near six months in Mexico ๐ฒ๐ฝ was everything we had hoped for & if you have been following along, so much more! Would we do it again? Absolutely! We traded the slow pace of Mexico for the the hustle & bustle of big box stores & doctors appointments. There is a whole subject for […]
๐คฟ Under the Sea๐ฆ
It was scuba diving that drew us to the Mexican coast as we revisited PDC. Per the suggestion of friends, we tried out the Reef Marina Dive Shop on the beach just in front of the resort, Reef Playacar where our friends also generously afforded us for our 25th anniversary in the midst of Covid. […]

I have recently signed up as an Amazon Associate.

Underground Rivers ๐
There are no above ground rivers in Yucatรกn, MX but there are over 6000 fresh water sinkholes or cenotes ๐ It is believed that the dinosaur killing astroid that impacted the earth bazillions of years ago, happened here & created the Chicxulub Crater.

๐๏ธBeach House on a Budget๐

Ancient Cities ๐ Mayan Ruins
The caliber & breadth of the Mayan culture is quite indescribable. We had several opportunities over our time in Yucatรกn to visit a few of the many known ruins that dot this amazing landscape & give a peak into the past. 1500BC to 1500AD spans the significant rise & fall of the Maya. Then like many […]
๐ฆฉFlamboyance & The Yellow City ๐
So many little Mexican pueblos, so little time. We usually head off on adventures with a general plan, but we are always open to switching it up, especially when locals give us the skinny. To the west of Progreso is a small coastal pueblo that offers a look into Mexicoโs conservation efforts. Celestรบn, home to the […]
