Oaxaca is really nice, I think it is my favourite city that we've been to. Today April and I went to Monte Alban, which is a Zapotec site. It was really hot but we were really impressed; it's way different to Maya sites. April, Rob and Amy had a really ... Read more >

The next site, Uxmal, was a site not to miss so we made Amy and Rob come along too. It was pretty expensive to get in, the same as Chichen Itza, but I think it was worth it. The architectural style was the same as the sites we saw the day before, which ... Read more >

On Tuesday we went to the site of Tulum, which is located right on the beach as you will be able to see from the photos. It is a perfect paradise and it is quite obvious why the Maya would decide to build a city there. Although it was quite small the ... Read more >

It has been a couple of weeks since I've blogged, so sorry about that. We haven't really doing any exciting travel so I though that I'd just combine the last 2 weeks in one blog. The lab work has finally come to an end and we are now at the feast in ... Read more >

Semuc Champey was amazing!!! First of all we got to ride in the back of a pick-up truck to the caves, which was a lot of fun considering the road was bearly wide enough for 1 car let alone when you had to pass someone else. Then we had to traverse a waterfall ... Read more >

Wednesday was not a good day for me...I think I may have gotten food poisoning on Tuesday night, so I was down for the count on Wednesday not even able to get out of bed. It was the worst feeling as you could probably imagine if you have ever had food ... Read more >

All I have to say is that San Pedro is amazing!! It is so nice to wake up every day to a beautiful view, knowing that you get to spend the morning learning Spanish and waste away the afternoon drinking licuados and trying to do Spanish homework while ... Read more >
