Thursday, we continued driving pretty much straight away. Loki took a quick walk around, and once he was back inside, we hit the road. We drove towards Orizaba, even though we wanted to get to Oaxaca. It's actually the shorter route, because to drive straight west goes up over a mountain pass...

Wednesday morning it was slightly cool inside, with the breeze coming in through the window by our heads. Away from the window, it was much warmer. No real relief. We took a walk around before it got too hot outside. We brought our passports to get a couple color copies made nearby. I had...

Tuesday morning, we took a stroll around the neighborhood. We checked out some of the houses that have already been built, though there were very few. About an equal number are still under construction. But more than half of the land seems to be completely unimproved yet. It's a pretty quiet...

Monday, we spent the morning searching for 1-1/2" structural angle aluminum. I asked Ernesto where he thought I might be able to find it, and he sent us to a hardware store nearby where he knew we were parked. It was only about a 10-minute walk, so we took Loki for a morning walk to try and get...

Sunday morning, we checked inside Walmart to see if they recycle batteries. I'd swapped out our old laptop battery with a new one my sister delivered to us in Panama when I was chilling in bed all night. It seems they don't, so we retained the old battery for now. We'll keep looking for a place...

Thursday morning, we headed to the hotel restaurant to get some breakfast. It was better than average, I think. Didn't blow me away, but wasn't a massive disappointment, either. Afterwards, we tried to walk into the nail salon just outside, but we quickly realized we needed an appointment we...

Wednesday morning, we packed the last-minute things and headed out the door. Our shuttle was supposed to arrive around 6:00-6:10am. We only had to walk a few minutes down the street to the bus stop, so we got there with plenty of time to spare. The van didn't show up until around 6:30am, so we...

Tuesday morning we had an appointment at 9:30am to go ziplining. So, as you can see, we had a fair bit of time to leisurely get up and moving. We had some coffees and breakfast, and we organized all our stuff a bit so it didn't feel like we were living in a mess. We walked down the street to get...

Monday morning, we didn't have any breakfast items. We did at least have the foresight to brew some coffee in the refrigerator the night before. So we had that. After we got up and showered, we set out in search of something on which to break our fast. We walked back towards the waterfront...

Sunday was my birthday, so I got up when I was ready and not a moment sooner. It was actually early enough to catch the sunrise so. I don't sleep in well. We relaxed in the hammock on the balcony a while and watched the birds for the morning. We went back to the buffet for breakfast. We...

Saturday morning, we hit the road fairly early after breaking our fast on the remainder of our food items. We headed to iPark, which is a gated public lot near-ish to Cancun airport, and offers shuttle service to and from the airport. They also offer car washing while you're away! Mandy had...

Friday morning we had to be out by 10:00am since there was a large party arriving to the Ranch of Jaguars. After we got up, we took a walk along the road all the way to the back of the property just to see where it went. Then, we turned around and went back to the van. One of our videos had been...

Thursday morning, Mandy did some morning swimming while Loki and I chilled. We took showers at Balneario Buenavista and packed up our shizz. Then, we thanked Javier for our stay and hit the road. We headed towards Tulum, but along the way I realized we were pretty low on diesel. I stopped at a...

Wednesday morning, Mandy was hustling us, which was weird. She really wanted to catch the sunrise over the lake. We were a couple minutes late, but that didn't matter. It was still beautiful. We sat on the dock for a while just taking it in. Loki even cooperated for the most part. Afterwards, we...

Tuesday we woke up and did our morning chores. Namely, eating breakfast, making the bed, getting dressed. Things like that. We dumped our greywater at the dumping station and then we hit the road. We stopped in Chetumal to get some groceries at Chedraui. The more I visit Chedraui, the more I...

Monday morning, we said goodbye to our travel buddies. They were off to hustle through the Yucatan peninsula to get back in the states in time. We've been having a debate, Mandy and I, lately. It's not really a debate, but rather a general awareness of our potential ignorance. People often ask...

Sunday, we spent the whole day inside Yax Ha. We had the place mostly to ourselves for the morning, so we hopped in the pool after we got up. Loki wasn't a huge fan of this, so it didn't last long. It was literally line of sight to the van, maybe 150 feet away, but that's too far, so he barked...

Saturday morning, we picked up trash around the parking lot before heading out. It's not much, but it's something. It's payment for free parking, I guess. I know everything helps, but we're holding an eyedropper on the beach it feels like. Afterwards, we hit the road. The pavement was quite nice...

Friday morning, we didn't dilly-dally. We headed to Cabral Auto Electric as soon as we were all up and ready to go. When we arrived, I set to work removing the countertop again. I had some recent practice, so this went rather quickly and very smoothly. I know all the tools I need, and each...

Thursday morning, we got up at our own pace. We made some breakfast. We took some showers at the marina. We wandered around a bit with Loki. I took some time to catch up on forum posts here. We began driving back north late morning. We stopped in at the Country Barn again to get frozen coffees...
