Today, after I picked the boys up from school we took the bus from Progreso to Merida and got off at Liverpool mall. We were going ice skating! This was the second time we have gone skating but this time it was just Evan and myself. Lyn met us after spending the morning getting her […]
Today, while our boys were at their first day of summer school in Progreso, we had a chance to explore the main food market and malecon (boardwalk). It was of course another cruise ship day, and the port was very busy with tourists. We cannot wait to see the town on a day a cruise […]

Checking in to Cascadas de Merida was a dream, Chucho was awake when we arrived at 12:30am local time and very quickly got us settled in after a very long day of traveling. As we carried our luggage, with Chucho’s help of course, past the pool and waterfalls to our casita in the back corner […]
