One man's perceptions on wandering this blue marble.
This is a great way to travel while in the Yucatan, but what the video doesn’t show is that the collectivo drivers will try and fill their buses to capacity and beyond. It’s similiar to riding coach class on US planes. Also at capacity it tends to be a little warm so dress appropriately. And […]
Cabin fever today! After an all day rain yesterday, I’ve got to bust out of this casita and do something! I’ve been wanting to go to Xpu Ha beach for some time, but every time I tried I’d end up at a private, no public allowed resort. That is one thing about the Riviera Maya, […]
What a beginning to the day! I was awakened at 6:30 am by one of the strangest sounds coming just outside the casita. I rushed to get a t-shirt on and sandals to see what was making this honk then call. To my surprise, I had been graced by a visit from a Mexican turkey, […]
Been off the radar a little bit, but not to worry. I’ve kept busy by doing some reading, studying, snorkeling, cooling off in a cenote, and lounging poolside.

Not much going on this weekend so I decided to help out the owners by spiffing up the ol Rancho a bit. I noticed the gardener they hired just swept out the garage and raked up some leaves from the stone walking paths. I could see a lot more was needed in the landscaping area, […]
Boy 84 degrees at 9:30 am??? What’s this day going to bring? Turns out it never got over that once the sea breezes started up. Anyway went to a park down the highway south of Akumal that I read about in a blog. It supposedly has a good beach and a cenote just off the […]
Wow! Woke up to my first rainy day since being here since January 8th. It’s OK because I spent the day, for the most part, around the ol’ Rancho. The rain was very fine rain drops and not heavy at all. I think the birds especially enjoyed it as they seem to chirp and call […]
