    The Yucatan Road Trip continues! We stayed in Merida for 2 nights so had the day to explore a few cenotes in the little town of Homún. There are actually 350 cenotes just in the town. Some are more known than others and visited one that had only opened up to the public just 3 days prior! It was a crazy experience for us all.

    Amazing that that 1st cenote was just opened to tourists 3 days prior! Must have been scary being left in the cave for so long. Glad he came back for you eventually!

    That first cenote was scary to watch, I'd have been so fearful of not making it through. As for the family meal at the end - that was amazing. It's the experiences that money can't buy in travel, but when the opportunities arise, they should be grabbed with both hands.

    Dear friend. the day of the dead in mexico. It is not related to Halloween. It is just the opposite. the day of the dead is the celebration for the dead loved ones who have transcended beyond. To the Mayan or Aztec heaven or underworld. as it is mixed with the Christian religion. we would say heaven. But it has nothing to do with the commercialist and materialistic Halloween horror costumes.
    The skulls or skeletons in Mexico. Those represent the angel of death of God. It is an honor to be with her and not be afraid of her. she lives under our skin, in the form of a skeleton. We sleep with her!

    That first Cenote will be one I will remember for the rest of my life. Also; you should of added the part where the guide was like “we’re only gonna turn off the light for 10seconds” and it turned out to be 10minutes with the lights off in a cave 🤣

    Luckily they didn't listen to you, but never tell a Mexican that the Día de los muertos is related to Halloween😱, coincide on the day but not on the meaning. Almost every element in this festival has a deep meaning, from the decoration, the colors and even the food, and the purpose of this festival is to pay homage to the ancestors, so when people associate día de muertos with Halloween, usually to local people don't like it😅
    in the place where you are living the dia de muertos is called "hanal pixán", eating that great tamale called pib, is only done in that region, in the rest of the country the day of the dead is celebrated but with other traditions... that are usually the most popular (those that appear in the movie coco)

    Do you know that that city you’re in is the second safest city in the world. You wanna know why they say it is? Because all of the cartel keep their families in that city. They’ve decided of a safe place for all of their family members to be and that’s where they’re at. Also other people don’t cause problems because what if you got into a problem with cartel family member?? so everyone in that city is on their best behavior.
