Tierra Chamahua Ecoadventures At Rancho Los Banos Northern Mexico

<br> Buzz decided to take us to this little city and it was a great idea. We liked this town a lot because it was more our style; less crowded, more laid back, definitely more the hippy part of town. This reminded us of Cabbage Town in Atlanta, or the North side of Chicago. This part of town is called DF (Distrito Federal). We just relaxed here all day, stopping at a coffee bar and later a bar called Graffiti. Here Buzz introduced me to a Michelada ...

... and Martas , longtime friends of L&amp;S.I got to the internet, where I found out I didn't get "The Best Job in the world" ha, little do they know I already have it. But in the middle of out internet session we got the call from Lyle. His truck broke down in Santa Rosalia. About 5 hours north or beach camp. Now we had to stop everything, get me back to camp to take care of the animals while Shaunna, heads North ...

... intérieur de l'église fraichement rénové, les dorures refaites éblouissent par leur beauté et leur lumière. Nous avons mis plus de trois heures pour visiter ce magnifique complexe.

Nous y avons fait aussi d'excellentes rencontres sur le terrain de camping, nous étions 6 caravanes dont un Suisse, un Américain, un Allemand, un Français, un British-Colombien et un Québécois.

... exigent, depuis les troubles de 1994, que tout étranger soit sorti des villages avant 23 h. Nous irons donc nous installer au premier Pemex, à la sortie de Ocosingo sur la route 199 et Mark André monte son bivouac derrière la roulotte.

... ambiance finally got the better of us and enticed us into an outdoor bar to sip on a pi ñ a colada and a margarita; there must be some magic to this place because normally our drink of choice is a glass of wine or a beer - however, I still come back to my first impression, how can anybody spend several months here despite the beautiful beach?

Cenotes X'Keken et Samula, 28 déc 08. Nous n'avons que quelques 50 km à parcourir pour nous rendre aux cenotes. Avant que nos amis arrivent nous avons eu le temps de visiter le cenote Samula. Je n'avais aucune idée à quoi m'attendre, à part savoir qu'on pouvait s'y baigner. Première surprise, après avoir acheter les billets pour Lucille et moi on nous signale par 'aqui' en nous indiquant un trou dans le rock. En m'approchant je vois qu'il y a ...

To quote the Lonely Planet "Mexico's perfect budget chill out spot. It's a place where you can do as little as you like and enjoy good food and inexpensive accomodation ($35 a night to be precise).
