Cancun & home!

Hola, so we are home. Not that we actually have a home but we are working on it.
Cancun. I loved Cancun. That blue water is incredible. And it seems saltier than Zipolite for some reason...stung my eyes and wow could I float. First time swimming there. Heaven!!

We stay at the Hotel Alux http://www.hotelalux.com/ . I really love this hotel because it is economical, clean and a great location. The staff are super friendly and helpful too!

Cancun is fun. The buses are easy to take. We just took the R1 and it takes you past all the fancy hotels down to where the pretty beaches are.

Anyways here are some photos. You can look on my fb page for more.

Palenque 2018

Well I had big plans to go and spend a whole day drawing at Palenque but when we arrived it was the end of a very long day and I was too tired. So I just took some photos and we wandered around and laid down on the grass and climbed a few of the ruins we had never climbed before. We didn't go all the way to the bottom, to the exit to see the waterfall because it's a tough climb back up and we had to catch our tour van at the entrance, but normally you look at them as you exit the bottom and it's much easier.

Angel wasn't into hanging around. She still hasn't grasp the significance of it. She can't imagine it before in all it's glory, painted beautiful colours and lots of people in feathers and clothing of her ancestors. I tried to explain and not be annoyed because I told her... "it's your ancestors that built this" ...not mine. But she will. She is only 15 and I was totally clueless about any of this when I was her age so I know I must be patient. I was a real brat I remember when my mom managed to take us on a trip to Disneyland, San Diego and Tijuana and I all I wanted to do was suntan. She didn't want to leave me alone and WOW do I totally get that now. Sorry Momma!!

That said my little Angel is an incredible trooper and she had taken super long bus rides, windy, curvy bumpy rides that make you puke and gotten up at all hours and well I just love her and admire her so much for how strong she had been. She is a wise child and I believe that trip has empowered her and enlightened her and it will help her in so many ways in the future.

Anyways here's a few photos of our day. Videos later.

Mishol-ha 2018

Love, Love, Love Mishol-ha!
Have you ever stood UNDER a waterfall?
Not many people can say that they have...but we have been blessed, a few times.
I am SO GRATEFUL!!
This was just such a great experience but again we could only stay a little bit and well Angel was cold...it's chilly under there, bring a sweater. I have great video I will share later. Or check my instagram because I posted one on there. My connection isn't very good right now so have to upload videos later and I am just too tired to make good videos right now.

Until I do here are some beautiful photos of our experience. So blessed!!!

Agua Azul 2018

So we went on a tour to Agua Azul, Mishol-ha and Palenque.
It is not for the faint of heart or brittle. The trip is long and it's so full of curves and topes, well just don't have a big breakfast before you leave...is what I suggest.

We had to get up and be ready at 4 am when the tour bus/van came to collect us. The tour guide, Ramon, he was awesome. I want to do a big shout out to him because he made the trip so nice by simply offering Angel a gum.

You see it was very early and we both took a gravol but it didn't help Angel. To many curves and topes...and well she woofed her cookies. She wasn't the only one. But as I was getting rid of the evidence, Ramon offered Angel a gum and asked how she was. It made all the difference. She thought he was super kind to give her a gum so she could feel better. Another lady puked after her. But we had bags. They give you bags. Ask! Also I forgot but oranges help alot. Bring oranges and just smell them...that's my suggestion

You should have heard all the other passengers after we stopped for breakfast, and the driver explained there were many more curves and topes. "MORE CURVAS" they all exclaimed and I laughed, because I had been before and knew what was coming. So the driver ran to get more bags.
But we didn't need them after that all went smooth and we were rewarded.

Agua Azul was there in all her glory. MAGNIFICIENT!!! as always.
This in Agua Azul was damaged in the earthquake in September and dried right up. It was all the people working together that fixed and helped the water flow again. Oh I love this place so much, but the tours only let you stay for an hour or so. Some day I want to rent a room there and spend more time.

Soooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful!!!!
