When taking a long vacation in a new place, we spend a fair amount of time on research of that location. Before going to the Yucatan Peninsula, we spent nearly as much time researching its history, planning a tentative itinerary, picking up some travel tips, and learning some oft-used Spanish words and phrases as we did vacationing there. This information can be found by following the links below. Our diary and photographs are similarly accessible.
