Hacienda Santa Cruz Palomeque Yucatan Peninsula

... club restaurant. It is a salt water pool that refills from the ocean looks like it has 3 jacuzzi tubs in it but they are just for decoration. There are 2 sets of steps down to the water- no easy entry for people with walking issues, and please note that the stairs were VERY SLIPPERY. My husband fell on his way in the first time. We learned after that. Since the adult pool is oceanfront, it was cool and breezy, unlike the other pools which are very ...

... the day at Taxco, a lovely little town with cobbled streets, lots of silver shops, another cathedral, another museum which used to be a house and more great food. We toasted Fran´s 25th birthday with tequila, food and Cuban dominoes! On our way back to the city, we stopped by a hotel for a brilliant breakfast, formerly a hacienda. it had amazing grounds and we even had a peak at the rooms! We finally left Christina for Oaxaca and arrived ...

... Cruz, petit village d'hôtel et de touristes, nous visitons aussi le seul vrai village des environs, qui était là avant l'arrivée des touristes dans ces baies en 1994. Nous avons le choix des restaurants tous plus invitants les uns que les autres. Nous finirons par manger un bon filet de poisson dans le restaurent le plus prometteur. Notre meilleur repas dans les baies sera cependant dans le petit village de Mazunte ...

... par terre quelque part dans l'église, ils apportent une poule, 6 oeufs, 1 pepsi pour chacun, une bouteille de pepsi remplie d'un liquide transparent et bouché avec un bout de chiffon, ils ont aussi une cinquantaine de chandelles qu'ils commencent par coller devant eux et à les allumer. Ensuite pendant qu'ils prient, le père, la mère ou le chef du groupe tient la poule en lui serrant le coup du bout des doigts, selon eux la poule meurt apportant tous leurs mauvais esprits. Ils ...

We are all connected all the time and make a difference in each others lives. When we have the opportunity to be "in the current" of a situation that has taken on it's purpose......everyone knows they are "in it for a reason" and our actions become powered by something beyond our own imaginations. This summer, Robby and Amalia created beautiful murals in Lo de Marcos at La Casa de Los Ninos and in Chico ...

... fond de l'eau, les petits poissons y picoraient pour s'y nourrir. A un moment nous sommes passé au dessus de six plongeurs qui prenaient un cours de plongée quelques 50 ou 60 pieds sous l'eau. Très impressionnant de voir les couleurs de chacun, de leur costume et de leur équipement et les formes de certaines. Très beau spectacle haut en couleur... 6 janvier, journée pour apporter le lavage à la lavanderia et visiter la jolie petite ville de Puerto Morelos.

... How I could have been so careless with such a valuable piece of equipment?" After a half hour bus ride from Colima to Armeria located on the Laguna de Cuyutlán, we switched from a mediocre bus to a typical bus that one imagines in a B-movie about transportation in Central America. It has its charms but it's murder on the backbone. This authentic bus ride would take us from Armeria to the Pacific coast ...

... their projects and delight in looking through them into the light. Ana also taught the kids how to braid pieces of plastic cut from the plastic grocery bags. The braiding was very popular and we learned that many of the kids did not know how to braid. Paty and Cessi love making the plastic "globes" from colored plastic soda bottles. We talk about using them as lamp shades over a small light bulb. Diana teaches the kids how to knit scarves and hats ...

... me dance en jouant de la flute sur une petite plate-forme d'un pied de diamètre sur le bout du poteau. Pendant tout ce temps personne n'a aucune protection, si un d'eux perd l'équilibre c'est le béton armé qui l'attend en bas. Ce que sont ces Voladores est très bien expliquer par Roger dans son blog rogerenvoyage.blogspot.com de même que par nous dans notre résumé envoyé via couriel. Je me contenterai donc de vous donner des photos ...

These altars are comprised of many rich symbols derived from the melting pot of Mexican heritage. This includes indigenous observances dating back thousands of years including the Aztec festival dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl (known in English as "The Lady of the Dead").
