Mark and Chuck in Palenque on a Gate 1 Travel tour of Mexico

Our 13-Day Mexico Road Trip

Posted on March 3, 2023March 7, 2023 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

We just returned from our Mexican vacation. This comment seems odd since back in May of 2022, we relocated to Merida, Mexico, in the Yucatan. But here’s how things unfolded.   We Missed Traveling Technically, we have not traveled since returning from two weeks in India, as the world shut down with COVID. We had…

Merida Is WILD!

Posted on January 21, 2023 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

We find the most incredible stuff around our new hometown of Merida! We were on the highway heading east outside of Merida when we saw these HUGE figurines. But, of course, they were off the side of the road and on the opposite side of the divided highway.     As it turned out, the…

Mayapan archaeological site outside of Merida Mexico

Don’t Miss Mayapan!

Posted on January 12, 2023 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

We’ve explored the Mayapan Archaeological Site several times since moving to Merida and once or twice before that time. Somehow, Mayapan is considered to be one of the lesser-known Mayan ruins. But we think it’s NOT to be missed. It’s only about 40 kilometers southeast of Merida and an easy drive.     Banner of…

Merida’s General Cemetery and Paseo de las Animas

Posted on December 31, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

Ya, ya, ya, we know. We’re a bit behind in sharing blogs. Settling in, a few house guests, and navigating holidays in Merida put us a bit behind. We’ve got a lot more to share and will work hard to post on a more regular basis. Happy New Year, we can’t wait to see what…

3 Cenotes of Santa Barbara

Posted on November 7, 2022November 7, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

Exploring cenotes is one of the most amazing adventures we’ve had visiting the Yucatan. Cenotes are technically sinkholes. They are underground wells formed by a collapse in the limestone bed. Rainwater is filtered through the stone and runs through underground rivers that connect many of the Yucatan Peninsula’s nearly 6,000 cenotes. Many were water sources…

Exploring Casa Montejo

Posted on June 27, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

About a week ago, we decided to explore Casa Montejo. If you’ve been following along on our blog or our Instagram page, you’ll see we’ve not done much exploring.   We’re Not Tourists We must keep reminding ourselves that we are not tourists; we live here and have lots of time to explore. With all…

Posted on June 9, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

This past week Mark decided to do a little exploring and booked a Merida Market Tour. While we have spent quite a bit of time in the local markets, this tour was slightly different. The tour is billed as a Merida Plant Food Lovers Market Tour. It was the perfect opportunity to learn about many…

Our 1st 30 Days In Merida!

Posted on June 2, 2022June 2, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

Today marks the one-month anniversary when we took a leap of faith and got on a one-way plane ride to Merida. We brought two suitcases each and a small carry-on, plus two cats. It was an exciting yet stressful time.  We thought we would share some of our experiences.   The City of Merida We…

Getting a Little Salty in Las Coloradas

Posted on May 19, 2022May 20, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

We took a trip to the salt ponds of Las Coloradas on Monday. We’ve officially been living in Merida for two weeks. And as you may have seen from our previous blog and Instagram posts, we’ve worked on navigating the city. Things like navigating the neighborhood, shopping, finalizing our Permanent Residency, and other assorted paperwork…

Every Day Is Another Victory!

Posted on May 13, 2022May 13, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

After having done a ton of research before the move, moving to Mexico is still a new and exciting adventure. Especially when neither of us speaks Spanish. We’ve done several months of online Spanish during lockdown, but you build a vocabulary at best with no one to practice with. Navigating everyday tasks online and in-person…
