Indeed, I love adventures.

We spent a couple days on the lovely Island of Cozumel! We hit up three different spots on our snorkel tour, and what we saw was incredible-schools of thousands of fish, beautiful coral reefs, and brightly colored tropical fish all encompassed in crystal clear turquoise water. We proceeded to get caught in a downpour while riding a moped around the island and had some good laughs as we splashed through the HUGE unavoidable puddles with soaking wet dresses and smiles on our faces.


A local recommended that Kamille and I stop by Tecoh to see the cenotes. Holy moly, they were incredible! The whole experience was pretty National Geographic-esque. Being in a deserted cave off the beaten path, climbing through tunnels on our hands and knees, looking at the different shapes that the stalagtites formed, and swimming in a 70m deep lagoon quenched my desire for a good adventure! And yes, that blur at the top of the picture is a bat!

Here is the hostel I stayed in Palenque!



Still exploring Mexico! Here are a few more highlights.
Oaxca, San Cristobal, and Palenque

Distrito Federal (Mexico City)

We made fast friends a pair of fellow traveling adventurers from Stockholm, Sweeden. Chris, who was a scuba diver instructor in Thailand is slowly convincing me of the possibility of scubaing in Honduras! We caught up for drinks and ended up seeing an amazing live band that we rocked out to all night.



"Los Pyramides de La Luna y El Sol en Teotihuacan"
"That's a big one"
"Let's climb those prymids!"

Being a Bellingham-er for five years in counting has trained me to brave the ever so common torrential downpour that we call rain. Instead of adjusting my schedule according to the predictable golf ball sized rain that hit Coyoacan between 4:00-6:00, I've decided to trudge through the rain and bear wet pants.
"La casa y El Museo de Leon Trotsky"
I was able to take a peek into Trotsky's minimalist home. I had a mini history lesson from the museum dedicated to his life lead by revolutionary ideals. Here is a picture from the outside of his home.

"La Casa de Frida Kahlo y Diego Rivera"
We are staying in the neighborhood of Coyoacan, where Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera lived. We navigated through their house and museum filled with Kahlo's emotionally expressive self portraits and paintings.


Welcome to Unam, the first university in Mexico. The immense campus is filled with beautiful murals that puts WWU's pseudo sculpture art to shame.

Here we go!

Mexico City ---> San Jose Costa Rica from 09/09/09 to 10/20/09

Wahooooo... I made it to Mexico City! Seeing Kamille's familiar face at the airport was so great.

Here's how I am going to put my nomadic skills to the test.
