Our friends Francisco and Landy invited us to spend the day with their entire family and friends for the Feria Telchac Pueblo 2013 in the Yucatan. This is a time honored event and we were very excited to be invited to spend the day with them. The party in Telchac was for San Francisco de […]
So our second stop of the day was to visit Hacienda San Eduardo near Telchac Pueblo in a town called Dzemul. Francisco’s father brought us all to the local hacienda so that we could explore the area. I am not sure if this location is open for tours, but he went and got the person […]
On Sunday we had the pleasure of accompanying our friends to several locations. The first stop of the day was to Xcambo, which is located on the way from Progreso to Telchac Pueblo in the Yucatan. While these are Mayan ruins, they are not as old as some of them and apparently this site was […]
People are always asking us what there is for children to do in the Yucatan. LOTS! Every time we think of something, we have been able to find it in our area. We had heard about the possibility of children taking wind surfing lessons so two weeks ago, I started the search. The boys and […]
We are back to helping Sharon with the Chicxulub Food Bank this year and are very excited to meet new people involved with the program. It has been an interesting two years as we watch the families involved in the food bank change and develop. Children that were newborns are now running around as toddlers. […]
I have had a lot of requests recently about how to contact the Mexican Consulate in the Calgary, Alberta, Canada area so I have decided to post it here for people to discover! If you have any comments or more information to add to this about your experience, please add it for future guests to […]
We met, Juan José Ordonez Magana, while doing our visa application the other day at the pier and found out that in addition to be a dog loving family who runs a dog shelter out of Telchac, he also has a fumigation business. I was impressed with Juan’s professionalism and his equipment. He came when he […]
Evan and Noah’s Taekwondo class had a special week-end training seminar last week on the Malecon of Progreso. Professor Andri and Dan Maximiliano Pinelo,taught the class new techniques and forms. Each session was four hours but everyone loved it and they managed to keep the attention of most of the kids the entire time. One […]
On our third visit to this amazing cenote, we brought our niece Angelica. Cenote Ik Kil, while being very commercial, is definitely a must see while in the Yucatan. Ik Kil is even better after spending hours at Chichenitza looking at the Mayan ruins however this time we just stopped in for a quick swim […]
Angelica took the boys to the beach one day while she was here in Progreso. They had a great time and were out really far when Evan and Angelica both felt something “large” bump into them and then they raced out of the water… while we are not sure what it was they stayed out […]
On our way to visit Uxmal, we had a quick pit stop at Santa Elena to see the mummies. This is a beautiful old church on a hill overlooking the pueblo. Attached to the back of the church is a small museum where you are able to see the mummified remains of several children. If […]
After visiting the Mayan ruins at Uxmal, we drove to the Cenote at San Ignacio for the chance to cool down from the long hot morning walk at the ruins. This cenote is definitely worth seeing, although I would not rank it as one of my favourites. There are no discounts available here as it […]
This year we took my niece, Angelica, with us to visit the Mayan ruins of Uxmal. We always like to explore the ruins with a guide, but this time we just explored on our own. I would definitely recommend going with a guide because there is so much history to each building that you cannot […]
