Left the Kalax Wayak ranch of the little town of Sudzal at 10am this morning. The ranch was our longest stay among the various places we are visiting. Five weeks, and it went by in a flash. It was very good for the kids to experience a little taste of farm life, and Leo is particularly fond of the animals here. Samuel noticed that in Leo, and today as he was getting ready to bring his horse to his stall, he stopped and asked Leo if he wouldlike to go for a little ride. Oh joy! It was very sweet of Samuel, and Leo was delighted to go for a ride on his own (ie without us). Watching them coming back on the little back road, I had another moment of perfect happyness. What a beautiful place this is.
Of course there are pros and cons about that house, but overall I must say that I find it kind of embarassing to mention the glitches while in such a priviledged position. We are the very first people to rent the house, it’s a new sideline venture for the Cervera Calero family. This is a perfect vacation rental property, and in that category they have no competition in the area. I have offfered them to make a series of recommendations, and they are welcoming the feedback. Small improvements can easily be made to the overall operation (filling water tanks regularly, providing basic info upon arrival, etc.), and it will be a top notch – gringo proof destination.
I must say that in my endless quest for Yucatan spirit, Izamal was my greatest discovery. After coming to the Yucatan peninsula so many times over the past 25 years, enjoying its culture and people, I feel that Izamal has it all. I have gone back a few times to make sure it wasn’t only one of my ‘kumbaya’ moments, and sure enough, I really fell for that beautiful town. It’s very pretty and the people are beautiful. It has a kind soul, ancient and wise. It feels very good.
Farewell to this beautifulplace, it’s time for us to move on!
We are now in Telchac Puerto, settling in Casa Zuno until January 28. Right away, we are impressed with the comfy couches, washer and dryer, and wireless internet – cool! Funny how these are things we have at home…
