The Breathtaking Beauty of Cenote Multun-ha

The Breathtaking Beauty of Cenote Multun-ha

My guide walked toward the cenote, but I couldn’t see any cavern entrance or surface water. Confused my paced slowed even with the sudden rainfall and darker skies. She started to descend. Stairs?

The Cenote Swim at Hacienda Tres Rios

The Cenote Swim at Hacienda Tres Rios

I took off my life-preserver device and decided to dive. A deep breath and I left the surface to swim towards the bottom.

At first […]

Not solely because of the substance, but also because it enabled me to meet a great community of people who promote Mexico. People I now call my friends. On an excursion to visit some of the […]

A Mexican Pipeline Birthday

A Mexican Pipeline Birthday

I take my birthday off every year. That did not change this year and was no different during the days when I called Mexico City my home. That year, I decided my September surf session would not be at the Jersey Shore or Fire Island, but in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. “Puerto,” as it is charmingly […]
