So Many Bikes

The house that we are staying at in Tulum came with some bikes so we have been biking around a lot. Most of the locals we have seen, and some tourists, ride bikes around. Some of the bikes have a big cart on the front and some people ride in it. Today we saw two little kids in a cart and an older kid (probably like 11) riding the bike. Some of the food vendors use the big work bikes to carry their things.

Tulum is a really nice place to bike because it is super flat and there are really nice bike paths. We have ridden to the beach a lot on the bike paths and it is really fun. I have seen two people on a bike at the same time riding down the street and it looks really uncomfortable. At night there are food vendors riding around by our house, honking a horn and it gets really annoying when you are trying to sleep.

When I was biking back from the beach today I took some pictures of the bikes we saw.

On The Road Again

Hola.

My family and I are on a trip in Mexico and will be travelling around the Yucatan and Chiapas for five weeks. I am really excited to be on another trip with my family. We arrived in Cancun on Monday 1/25/16 and stayed there for two nights. We ate most of our meals in Parque de las Palapas. The plaza had a ton of food vendors and a place where you could eat, there would also be a man or woman playing music. The last night we were there a lot of people started dancing. The food there was really good and some of the vendors sold delicious drinks like licuados (blended fruit, milk and ice) and agua frescas, including horchata and pina. Some of the foods I ate were enchiladas, quesadillas, soup, and burritos. My favorite was the quesadilla with papas, chorizo and queso on a homemade tortilla.
