Ruins, again. Chichen Itza, boys and girls!


Can't get enough of ruins. Always fun and joy to me. I am so blessed to be living to so many old Mayan cities to explore them. And not even once. During my mother-in-law visit I took her to visit Chichen Itza. It's a classic staple sight, modern world wonder and so on. Definitely my least favorite but it is a must visit for any person who visits Yucatan peninsula for the first time.





I wore travel uniform. Comfortable top, jeans (to survive AC in the bus for me, and also a good buffer from mosquitos) and flip flops. I'd recommend you wearing sneakers if you are not wearing flip flops all the time and feel just as comfortable.


I was wearing:
Levi's jeans
H&M top
handmade bracelets and necklace
Optima flip flops

 

Have a nice day,
Lyosha

    That's great that you were able to explore these ruins. We love visiting Mexico and seeing different Mayan Ruins. Chichen Itza has become quite crowded lately, and we actually climbed the temple about 20 years ago when we were there - of course it has since been closed to going on the temple. What is your favorite Mayan Ruin?

      probably Ek Balam. You can directly interact with the ruins, the territory is big so you can walk there and it's less touristy. The most flashy are Tulum: the sea does a lot with an impact. Also there are TONS of iguanas everywhere and I love them endlessly. I also want to mention Muyul: they are tiny but have the most unique temple and are linked to a wonderful nature park and superb cenotes just around the corner. There are literally nobody there and the nature is a marvel. having a boat tour will give SO much! perfect for birdwatching too.

    Love those relaxed jeans and it looks like such a nice place to visit, even if not one of your favourite spots!

    Hope your day is going well :)

    The ruins are great! I haven't seen any of the ruins in Mexico yet, but they are on my list. Thank you for sharing.

      I hope you will like it here. Literally there is SO much history everywhere in Mexico, it's very hard to miss whatever region you choose.

    You're so funny! Hope the ruins don't ruin it for you ;-) We visited some of the ruins during our stay in Puerto Morelos and I really loved it. Yucatan is such a wonderful place once you get away from the mass tourist places.
    Hope you're enjoying it to the max! :-)

      I agree. Touristy places are fun when you are tourist but no fun if you are a traveler or an expat like me. However when a real tourist comes to visit you, you need to bend from time to time

    Wow! This is place is fascinating. Would love to explore the ruins too. I agree with you that comfortable wear is a must in this trip.

    This place has been on my bucket list (well Mexico in general itself) for too long.. and I recall first reading about the Mayans in a storybook when I was a kid and being fascinated by them ... seeing these will feel like stepping back in time..

Still can't skate

Each year they set up a free artificial ice skating area as part of Christmas village in our city. I have tried it several times before and could never figure it out. But it is fun anyways. There is something in doing something horribly without any shame. I am not trying to excel in it and for some reason it it truly deeply liberating. What do you think? I wore simple and comfy outfit. Cropped top with Nightmare before Christmas print (it is Christmas theme for me, ok), comfortable back cargo pants and sneakers. You can not really top that. I was wearing: Cuidado con el Perro top and pants Converse shoes   Have a nice day, Lyosha

More about hats

How did you welcome a new year? I did it calmly with lots of time dedicated to myself. Man, I needed a nice little break here and there, especially as my little one is home for a school break. I have had a lot of fun but I also managed to dig in some interesting information I really want to share with you. I now live in the hot climate and wear hats only for style but I used to wear hats to keep me warm years back. And you know what I am happy I have a choice. These days I wear a lot of bucket hats and baseball hats and occasionally rock a fedora. Do you fancy some hats? I used to wear wool based hats all the time but I never actually didn't try to alter it. recently I found a great way to alter them and get them to fit you perfectly. I would love to share it with you because I know just how much a good fit changes the whole perspective on a life in the cold. I have discovered three fantastic ways to deal with it: hot water pot, shower and washing machine (only applicable on bucke...

Walk the river

Today I want to tell about vacation of mine. I don't want to start chronologically instead I want to show you the best day ever we spend in Gelendgik area. It was a day full of walking swimming and fun. We went to a special nature area park build around river Zhane. Mountains and absolutely dreamy rocks everywhere with waterfalls and baths. The scenery is so dreamy I just couldn't help it! So let the photo speak for themselves. We actually swam in the river. So refreshing and totally wild. I was so impressed that I felt like sea is only a so-so place for swimming after magic rivers Zhane and Pshada (I'll tell you about it in my next post). I wore my wonderful romper I take with me on most of the trips (it asked for no space and fits perfectly. Flipflops make walking around the rocket harder but if you need to step onto the river all the times it is an optimal choice. Comfy tiny bight blue-green top to finish the outfit alongside with a ca...
