Travel Diary #02

By Sergio Camalich

Every two weeks I’ll be publishing little excerpts from my travel diary to show a little bit more of what I live every day. These are taken from September 16 through 30.

September

16
“Misfortunes? They are more than welcome!”

17
Days like this make me think that every traveler has a little bit of a masochist inside.

Pirámide Calakmul

18
Calakmul left me speechless. All the pain to get here was worth it.

19
Nothing better than having honest conversations with old friends. Friendship will always survive.

20
At first I wasn’t convinced of this hostel, but after experiencing its marvelous breakfast, I think I’m in love with it.

21
I saw my life pass through my eyes as we were riding the back of a truck at 170km/h. Never again. Maybe.

22
I keep having this weird luck where I’m the only person in a special place. Can’t complain.

23
Did nothing today. Felt awesome!

24
Today I had one of those experiences that I know I’ll never be able to have again and I wasn’t allowed to document it or even openly talk about it. It’ll be one of my top “Grandpa’s stories”.

25
Trust me, jumping into a dark cenote with no one else around is scary as shit.

26
I love cantinas in Yucatán. $22 pesos for a beer plus 7-8 plates full of food. IS THIS REAL LIFE?!

27
Ok, eating and drinking that much doesn’t seem like the brightest idea today. Anyway, time to party!

28
I love seeing old people dancing in plazas. Make me feel warm inside.

29
Went biking to a couple of cenotes near Valladolid. Samulá is ridiculously beautiful.

30
More cenotes! This time just a few blocks away from the hostel. I love this!

Where next?
