Playa Xcalacoco
Today we met up with several people from the local homeschooling/unschooling group, plus some other worldschooling families for another fun day at the beach with friends! This time we went to Playa Xcalacoco, a public beach located near the Azul Fives hotel on the northern end of Playa del Carmen. There is a lifeguard stand Read More
Is it broken?
My foot and ankle was looking a lot worse this morning so I decided a trip to the doctor was necessary to rule out a break. This time we’re staying in the Centro area, so it was easy for me to get back to the same International Clinic that we had gone to previously for Read More
We’re back in Mexico!
We’re here! Back in Mexico to hang out in Playa del Carmen for a few weeks and then head to Merida for the Project World School Family Summit, 2017! Twas not an easy travel day today. We left home at 3:45am. I somehow?!? sprained my foot on the first flight. One of our bags didn’t Read More
Buen Fin sale means Cozumel for Thanksgiving!
In Mexico they have Buen Fin instead of Black Friday, a 4-day weekend of sales. During Buen Fin last week I snagged us a deal on an overnight in Cozumel, so that’s where we spent Thanksgiving! We took the ferry over yesterday for yummy vegan food, snorkeling at Hotel Cozumel’s private pier and a dip Read More
Xcacel-Xcacelito
Yesterday we took a colectivo van to Xcacel-Xcacelito to meet some homeschooling friends. It is located in between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. We got there somewhat early and had the small cenote to ourselves for a bit on and off. It’s set in the middle of the mangroves with a raised walkway leading to Read More
Aviario Xaman Ha
Kiddo and I decided to make a quick trip to the Xaman-Ha Aviary. As vegans, we usually avoid most animal attractions such as zoos, but we had heard that the birds in this aviary were indigenous to the area and free to come and go. Some websites even refer to it as a sanctuary. Since it Read More
Visiting the medico and farmacia
We got to experience the medico and farmacias yesterday for the first time. Poor kiddo is dealing with swimmer’s ear on one side and in a lot of pain when he usually has a very high pain tolerance. He’s never experienced anything like this before. We started by getting some drops from the farmacia near Read More
Halloween!
Halloween in Mexico! Yes, they have it here too! We saw house parties, trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood, plus HUGE crowds of people on Quinta Avenida, Playa del Carmen’s hot spot. When asked to go trick or treating with some other worldschoolers kiddo needed an impromptu Halloween costume. This is what we figured out! He got a lot Read More
Swim while the sun shines!
Lesson learned. Swim while the sun shines! Kiddo set a goal to swim every day on this trip. Most days that’s been no problem, but yesterday was an exception. Even though it’s the rainy season here, so far that’s meant the occasional shower or even brief downpour like the one that left us soaking last week. But Read More
