You might be interested in the two volume set of books named, "Incidents of Travel in the Yucatan", by John Lloyd Stevens (1843). It's the diary of John Stevens when he hacked his way thru the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula in 1839+ and what he saw. The books contain woodcut illustrations of the monuments and buildings as he found them at the time. It was fun exploring the historic sites with his book in my hand. There is also his book, "Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan", but I haven't read that.
What a wonderful video! Being immersed in the culture, and interacting with the local population makes visiting the country so much better. Forget the Hilton, this is real life!
Teal, Linh & Emma, I loved this video [I always love your videos]... Excellent editing...great production quality! what a beautiful tour location...[ you made me feel like I was there ]... Great food, great sights, great people... Linh, you look like you're getting younger! [and I'm not kidding]... All the best...to my favorite sailing/ touring family... [Charlie]
OMG! Tomalleys is one of my favorites. He was a great tour guide, having a local to share the culture and history is priceless. And who doesn’t love coffee?
Wow, what an incredible day of adventure! It's so amazing to see you fully immersing yourselves in the local culture and experiencing all the wonders of the area. Your journey proves that the best way to explore is by sailboat, and you did an excellent job capturing the important points of the region. The food alone had my mouth watering! Kudos to the Emmacam for capturing all those beautiful moments. The waterfall looked absolutely stunning too. Your videos always transport me to the location, and this one was no exception. You truly have a gift for storytelling. And Linh, you look absolutely radiant and younger than ever! Wishing you all the best, my favorite sailing/touring family. Keep up the fantastic work! - Charlie
Happy Saturday life styler's. O found that to be interesting & informative. & Don't get me started on the food, yummy. I have a feeling that this won't be your last guided tour. Wow, the water fall. Enjoy 😄. Keep up the good work. SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿
Was that ever interesting! Who could not love Mexican food after THAT! A really nice trip! You didn't dwell much on the chocolate and how it tasted and how they use it in food or drinks or ICE CREAM! And Emma is getting so good at everything she does. She films, narrates, helps with the maintenance, & running the boat!
Great video, and one of the best things about this tour is the way it helps the local economy. I was drooling at the Mole. Most Americans, although they like Mexican food, have no conception of what good Mole is like and how wonderful it is.
Back in the early 80’s When I served in the Army for a few years down there in Panama, Fort Sherman, some of the best food I always found was in these roadkill side café😋
Well that was fun ‼️ 🎉 🙌🏻 Syphilis truly love this excursion into Mexican history. Definitely wanna try the coffee and chocolate.......always so interesting on how people figured out the processes for the finished product and how to consume. Fabulous ‼️ See you next time.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
A wonderful day trip. Watching the tamales being made made me hungry. It would have been even better if you had described the ingredients. What was in the two big post one whte the other black? Also please linger a bit longer on the maps. The falls were beautiful. I expect the water was cold though. The sight seeing and history lesson were great. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
The white pot was actually their special maiz (corn) tortilla tamale mixture. It needs to be constantly stirred to get the right consistency, texture and flavor. The black pot is her special mole sauce. It is unlike any mole sauce you will try. The depth and richness of the cacao bean and the savory ingredients makes this the BEST mole we have tried. So simple yet so delicious. She let's the true flavors shine through.
@pattieh5118 mole sauce is cacao based. A little sweet from the cacao bean and savory from the other spices. I'm not usually a mole fan because of the sweetness, but this one blew me away. She has found the perfect blend of flavors. 🥰🥰🥰
Now that you've have immersed yourselves in the local culture everyone won't have a problem finding a suitable guide. Everyone looked like they enjoyed the tour of the scenery and cuisine. I'm sure Linh will incorporate some ideas into her own dishes in the future. Teal with being put on a medical leave for relaxation you will probably need to lay off the tamales or the next time you need the wetsuit it may not fit. Hope you all enjoy the area it looks great. Tell Emma everytime a new video comes out I sometimes think you both hired a new crewmember she has grown immensely from a young lady into a woman sometimes it's hard to tell who's narrating. Be careful and stay safe my friends God love ❤ ya guys
Our guide said don't touch any plants. So, as I slid down the trail, I grabbed a branch to keep from sliding into the river. My hand felt like it immediately burst into flames. We were in a cinnamon grove. The smell on my hand was heavenly.
That's really cool. After Sailing Life on Jupiter docked there about two months ago on video, it made me want to visit that area for myself aboard a nice catamaran. I live about 60 miles north of Seattle so I'll have to sail south to Panama before I cross the Pacific so that I can hit some of the southern tropical islands. Some people cross from South America. Not sure where the best place to start your crossing would be from.
Just kinda curious. Does Ema find herself on the same grade level as the kids in Mexico, or is there a gap? Know she's being home schooled, so kind of not fair tocompareto kids her age back up in Seattle. Of course on the experience level, she's way more advanced than either I'm sure do to her lifestyle and surroundings, but I was wondering where Mexico is in comparison. I don't see a lot of kids there living on phones, or electronics, as the kids in the US.. Thanks for the tour.. BTW, what airport is near there if one wanted to see or experience your day?
Emma is many ways is more advanced than her counterparts in the states because most of the curriculum in schools will expect you to finish 70% by the end of a school year whereas Emma will complete hers 100%. She was with Oak Meadow for the past 2 years and we have been very happy with their setup. The education here is very different than in the states. There are 2 different paths you can take. The public and private sectors. Unfortunately, most of the public school kids will not see their graduation because the families will need them to help work to feed the family and pull them out of school early. The private schools are pretty good and they put a lot of emphasis on languages skills, science and math. Trust us that even here, the youth love their phones and electronics.
@@OnboardLifestyle thanks for the feedback. Oh, and congrats to your perseverance in Ema's education. With her learned and hands on skills gained by you two, she is well "advanced"
Among the most dissatisfied in Mexico with the way a supposed democracy is working in their country: In cross-cultural relationships it's always best to listen to their version of history and keep your mouth closed. Most of the rest of Mexico still blames only the Spanish for the Aztec downfall. Not much is known about the inhabitants in 1400 B.C. Interesting to see the tour guide gloss over it so quickly. Hate it when tour guides make up historical facts. Just because the oldest remains found are that old does not mean what we are seeing today is that old. It only begins to get more dangerous and confused the farther South we sail. It's nowhere close to being a trip to Disneyland when you travel off the beaten path. Cuisine begins to look more Central American than Mexican. For those of in the USA we typically are exposed to only the regional Mexican food adjacent to our borders.
An interesting fact: Our tour guide is a full time immigration attorney that gives tours only to the luckiest of people on the weekend. He only gives tours because of his fascination with history, culture, flora, and fauna of his homeland. Hands down the most knowledgeable, intelligent, and friendly national we have met in Mexico.
Just like going to school. It's best to know the daily subject matter to be presented before you attend. Cocoa is a biological contribution from Chiapas to Mexico and from Mexico to the world. It originated over ten thousand years ago on the coasts of Mesoamerica. Maybe he is better speaking Spanish.

Yes! This was a great way to really see more of what Mexico has to offer. So much history in this area and they are very proud of their culture.

We're glad you enjoyed it Paul!
This was a great episode, the information Miguel has is fantastic. And that food looked soooo delicious

Couldn't agree more!
Really enjoyed the video. From Lodi, California
Oh so child like me, FIRST.
Lol!, I'd forgotten that i had my head shaved back then!! Few extra lbs. Also haha

Happy Thanksgiving Greg!

Excellent video commodore Linh! How about an anchorage competition for best mole’?

Glad you enjoyed it
Simply a GREAT video. I learned a lot and I want some of those Tamalies! (LOL)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wish I could travel

I was curious to about the white and black pots. Black I figured bean but no idea what the white was.

If you saw my comment last week, I told you about the tamales Chiapanecos 😅.
Our guide said don't touch any plants. So, as I slid down the trail, I grabbed a branch to keep from sliding into the river. My hand felt like it immediately burst into flames. We were in a cinnamon grove. The smell on my hand was heavenly.
Linh did you have to restrain Teal from using his bad elbow
to lift so many delicious Tamales to his mouth?
I can lift a bit with my left arm! 🫔🫔🫔🤢

Hi Family, Linh did U get the recipe for the tamales. Great content, really enjoyed the cultural experience, but I miss Compass 😭
I didn't get her recipe. It's a family recipe.
Ah! Theobroma.
Just kinda curious.

Remind me never to go to Mexico
Why? The best food, beautiful scenery, nice people, safe environment, and most economical place we have ever been...did we mention the food!
When you don’t want to accept the truth about why your people were so easily subjugated…blame a Princess: Mexico
Aren’t you afraid of all the violence and kidnapping happening in Mexico?
