Gloria hallelujah - Great Translation Services


My husband and I purchased a condominium in Puerto Aventuras (PA), Mexico.  As you can imagine, we had a very long list of things to do.  As we prepared for our move, a recurring theme continued to creep into our thoughts and conversation.  How were we going to handle setting up all our utilities and other necessary paperwork without speaking fluent Spanish?  After all, being able to say “si” and “gracias” just was not going to get the job done.

The Ruins of Chichen Itza


One of the must-see attractions of the Riviera Mayan is the ruins of Chichen Itza.  Although there are many tour groups you could sign up for, we decided to take the day trip on our own and explore at our own pace.
We took the ADO bus from the 5th avenue location in Playa del Carmen (PDC) and paid a total of $632 pesos for two people, round trip.  The bus ride is approximately 90 to 120 minutes.   Once we arrived, departed the bus and walked to the entrance gate, we paid our admission fees and were on our way.
