The Yucatan Peninsula is the heart of the ancient Mayan civilization and Merida is close to many different Mayan ruins, so before we left, we had to go see one for ourselves! We chose to visit Uxmal, which is about an hour southeast of Mérida and to make things extra fun…we took a public bus. Thankfully the day went very smoothly and we had a ton of fun seeing the ruins, which are very impressive, plus visiting a chocolate museum nearby!

That was SO entertaining. Funny - as soon as you mentioned being adventurous and taking the bus, I pictured a dilapidated, smoke-belching old clunker packed with people and their goats and chickens jammed into every possible space. The Mayan ruins look fantastic - almost unbelievable! And those monkeys - in slo-mo - and gorgeous jaguar? Wow.

Your chocolate drink creations reminded me of a stop my family made in Santa Fe at a little shop where we drank chocolate with different add-ins, too - YUM!! And I'd love to learn more about the backstory of Harold and Gwyneth, and what happened next???

They had a few doorways open, but you couldn't go any further than just one room in. The iguanas were a fun sight! We had chocolate covered chili peppers in Santa Fe! Harold and Gwyneth have been married for 43 years and live in West Duncansfordshire in the North Highlands. As you can tell Gwyneth is cranky and demanding and Harold just puts up with it because believe it or not she cooks a mean Sunday roast. 😂

Twenty-odd years ago, I advertised on-line for a partner to write a tag-team story with me. One would write a few paragraphs, then send it the other who would add a few paragraphs. Eventually the story took shape and it was an enjoyable exercise. One co-author chose the name of Gwyneth for her character, while I chose the name of Harold for mine. You can imagine that I nearly fell out of my chair when Adam used the same names for the mannequins! On a more serious note, my wife and I both have enjoyed following your adventures this past year. Your content is creative and well-presented. Perhaps the one thing I appreciate most is that you both have maintained your sense of wonder and you are able to convey this through your videos.

Too bad you didn't get a guide there. YOu really missed a lot of explanations to everything you saw. That sound from clapping was the bird quetzal, which is very important. We have done all of the major ruins in the Yucatan, and Uxmal is a favorite of ours. Chichen Itza is another great one but you need to spend the night at the old hotel next to it, and go in when it opens, and get a certified guide. It isn't cheap but you miss so much without their expertise. There are vendors but they are set up in a specific area and don't bug you. It is also a whole day visit, but if you are a history buff, like us, it is a must.

Captives were often shown in Maya art, and it is assumed that these captives were sacrificed after losing a rigged ritual ballgame.[64] Rather than nearly nude and sometimes battered captives, however, the ballcourts at El Tajín and Chichen Itza show the sacrifice of practiced ballplayers, perhaps the captain of a team.[65][66] Decapitation is particularly associated with the ballgame-severed heads are featured in much Late Classic ballgame art and appear repeatedly in the Popol Vuh

We are sure it’s great too! We just had heard from many people that they enjoyed Uxmal more and we always enjoy visiting the less popular spots! (Although Uxmal is still very popular)

I'd like to say this was a cool video, but have to say HOT instead. Kona is better back home. I miss seeing her. I wonder what her take on iguanas would be. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

Kona was back home in the AC! It was rather warm out there! She’d want to chase the iguanas for sure!

We loved Uxmal but it was terribly hot.

We both speak a little. I (Adam) can converse and understand most of what’s said. We really want to get fluent one day
