when things got a little hot on isla holbox, i headed for the roof of hotel la palapa. there was a lovely shelter over a few hammocks and the breeze was always sweet. or one could lie in the sun and periodically rinse off under the conch-shell shower-he

Agua Azul, Chiapas, originally uploaded by peggydaly.
Agua Azul was one of the many amazing places i visited in Chiapas. when one first arrives there the strand of tourist stands and restaurants can be a bit of a let-down, but after climbing to

Yes, that title actually came to me today, accompanied by Sinead O’Connor’s voice, who would otherwise be singing “this is the last day of our acquaintance”. To try to end it with a bang would have been futile. How could I top the last 5 months?

I’ve alternated between exploring and chillin’. Holbox, or at least the part that is populated, is a narrow, tilted island who’s short-ends face southwest and northeast. The south-eastern length is mostly mangrove swamp that faces the mainland and

I did some research online on how to get to Isla Holbox coming from Valladolid. Unfortunately, the most standard way to get to Chiquila, the mainland town from which the Holbox ferry departs, is on a direct bus that leaves cancun 3x’s a day. But that

I forgot to mention my trip to the ruins of Uxmal. I did this easily from Merida, catching the 8am bus from the 2nd class bus terminal directly to the ruins. I considered taking what’s called the “Ruta Puuc” bus, which is a good deal. For arou

I found a nice part of valladolid I’d missed before: barrio del convento sisal. Today, while sitting in iglesia san Bernardino admiring the altar I was offered a $1 tour. After seeing the catacombs (Franciscan bones and all), cenote and cloisters

The whole Yucatan was boiling so I grabbed a fairly inexpensive room ($24) with a/c at Santa Lucia Hostal. There is only one or two private rooms and the rest are dorms. Young Rafael runs the place almost completely solo and is very helpful. When I

Not sure I’ll make it thru a second day here. Very pretty colonial town but rather boring – so anticipation for the nightlife doesn’t really get one thru the miserable, oppressively hot afternoons. I got in around 2:30 yesterday and had to hide

The decent from san cristobal to the palenque area is beautiful. Chiapas continued to enchant me. One can see a change of style in the woman’s dress – still square necked tops and belted skirts, but the skirts are of a lighter-weight fabric and deco
