Holes in the ground: The cenotes of Tulum, Mexico + video
The Yucatan Peninsula is filled with holes. Sinkholes that is, or cenotes in Spanish. A lovely cool place to visit during the heat of the day in Tulum!

Tulum = Paradise. Think pure white sand, warm turquoise water, good food, and some Mayan ruins thrown in the mix.

Back in the USA from our brief foray into Canada, we headed into central New Hampshire and the White Mountains region. Bears, streams, and mountains, oh my!

We spent a couple of days meandering around Montreal and Quebec City. We loved the European feel of the cities and delicious local produce!
Airbnb success! Montreal, Canada
We love the concept of Airbnb, but until recently hadn’t tried it. But as all the cheap hotels near Montreal were booked out, we decided to give it a go!
Northeast USA Road Trip: The green of Vermont
We set off into the wilderness of Vermont with our tiny rental car and $40 Wal-Mart tent. We discovered a green land filled with lovely scenery. Wonderful!
