Chez Céline...

A few days ago I took my parents and nieces to Chez Céline for a little mid-afternoon sweet time. I figure any time is a good sweet time, but thought I'd wait until afternoon to justify my chocolate needs. This little cafe is located at the far North end of 5th Street, almost in the Little Italy area. You can definitely feel a different vibe at this end

Chocolates de Francia...

Anyone who knows me is fully aware that I am addicted to chocolate. I don't hide my weakness. In fact, I wear it with honor. A few weeks ago when Seth and I had a date night, we came across the Chocolates de Francia store. Oh, my! My eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw the

Mayan Pole Flyers...

Its a bird! Its a plane! No! Its a Mayan Pole Flyer! 

If you walk down 5th Street towards the Cozumel Ferry, you are bound to come across the Mayan Pole Flyers doing their highly entertaining recreation of a ceremonial ritual of the Totonac Indians. Five Indians begin with a small dance on the ground, and then one by one,

The street runs about 4 miles long from Playacar to the end of Playa with restaurants, shops, street food vendors, entertainment, and coffee shops to amuse even

Wordless Wednesday...

Oh the Places We Will Eat!...

The one thing Seth and I love the most about living here is our ability to get street food pretty much anywhere of all kinds of varieties. Sometimes, when I don't feel like cooking, I go out on my bike to either 10th or 5th street and do my food stand hunt. Some are amazing. Some are so so. Some are kind of bland. But so far, we have not found any that are bad. But maybe our taste buds are not

And So Our Story Begins...

We are finally here! After living in Panama for 10 months, we realized it just wasn't the place for us. We are originally from Texas so moving to Mexico was not originally on the list because we felt like we wanted to experience a different viewpoint other than Mexican. However, its funny how when you move away from what's familiar, you don't realize how
