    Starting to appreciate what historical places Mexico has to offer. The more remote places and the people are more genuine., as is going through the little towns in the U.S. and seeing the real history. Buenos tardes to the dogs, I'm sure they speak Spanish. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

    Moi was awesome - "I'm your friend and guide". We need more of that warmth in people. The cenotes were beautiful! Okay, some cavern terms I've learned along the way while visiting (Carlsbad Caverns in NM, Natural Bridge Caverns in TX, and Cumberland Caverns in TN) - Stalactites (hold tight from the ceiling) and Stalagmites (might grow to reach the ceiling). That's how I remember each one's meaning, tight and might. More food! Just endless deliciousness in Mexico. Cheers and enjoy! Pete in Arizona.

    Yee-Haa! I thought y'all were going to a place that made c-notes. Haha. Boy howdy, was i ever wrong. Will try to have my coffee before reading these titles. Looked like a lot of fun. When i was a kid growing up we had a quarry we'd go swimming in with steep cliffs. Yep, used to show off for the girlies and dive about 40' into the most amazing blue water. Then i got braver and would hold a big rock and wait to let it go till it got so dark under the water you didn't know which way was up. Crazy!! Couldn't get any ladies to join me. You did great Adam🙂I sure was looking forward to some lessons on making c-notes. Next week y'all!

    Had no idea that's how the cenotes were created - I loved your guide's analogy of a pancake! I laughed out loud so mic when you didn't jump with Adam, Kathryn - mostly because of everyone's laughs from the side lines! I feel your pain with the swimsuit. I have one that's really well covered and tight so opt for that one when doing very active things in the water. Love that you guys used AirBnB experiences for this and your commentary of it was similar to my own experience with it. I feel like AirBnB for accommodation has moved far away from what it was back when we first started using it - staying in people's spare rooms where the locals wanted to be great hosts, socialise and exchange cultures... but we've been using AirBnB experiences on recent trips, and they feel a lot more 'local' and authentic than things you find on the likes of Viator. The Hacienda was fascinating and it didn't sound too different to the whiskey process of needing to wait 10 years before you can sell the product. Really loved this video, and your thumbnail was all kinds of epic!

    Learned something new today - all about cenotes! So, how are there fish in these cenotes? Is there an underground connection to them from the ocean and then the fish travel from one to another?Or, were fish introduced into them by people? Loved seeing you enjoy them, as well as the rest of the tour!!

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  Год назад +1

      Yes some of them are connected to the ocean and many of the cenotes are connected to each other! In fact, the largest underwater cave system is on the eastern side of the Yucatán Peninsula under Tulum. They've found all kinds of prehistoric bones under there as well. Divers go down and explore them often. Pretty mind blowing stuff 🤯🤯🤯

      The new law is a big bummer! Thankfully we don't have any plans to visit any national parks this year so we are hoping that this gets reversed or a more streamlined and sensible process is implemented over the next year. What makes it worse and what many people don't realize is this doesn't just apply to national parks, but also to national forests, BLM land, and many other nationally governed places. It's a big pain!
