    OUR EPIC BABY MOON: Houston, Mexico City, Tulum, Isla Mujeres in July 2023

    In this episode: Unfortunately our last trip to Mexico started off rough and we detail the options explored and the route finally taken. We share lessons learned in these travel mishaps. What was our first stop once we finally made it to Mexico City? Street tacos, of course! We discuss—the importance of family, the difference in Mayan and Aztec cultures, conditioning as it pertains to fighting, auspicious encounters, taking time to center in yoga, Victor discovers yet another rendition of camarones al mojo de ajo, being a dam for the b******t, and anything else that runs through our head while we reflect on our EPIC BABY MOON in Mexico.   Centro Ceremonial Otomi http://cepanaf.edomex.gob.mx/centro_ceremonial_otomi Charlie’s Restaurant https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g150813-d1236239-Reviews-Charlie_s-Tulum_Yucatan_Peninsula.html?m=19905 Our bungalow at Puro Curazon https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/16630722?source_impression_id=p3_1691170235_q%2BNr2zWb7vkw2PFh The Mayan Ruins Muyil https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1096305-d313310-Reviews-Zona_Arqueologica_de_Muyil-Chunyaxche_Yucatan_Peninsula.html Our stay in central Tulum (with air conditioning!) https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/33767383?source_impression_id=p3_1691170663_zeaExaECvPfTDBC8 Cenote Zacil-Ha https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g150813-d7692256-Reviews-Cenote_Zacil_Ha-Tulum_Yucatan_Peninsula.html The Om Collective https://www.facebook.com/omcollectivetulum/ Tulum Muay Thai https://tulummuaythai.com/ Las Margaritas https://restaurantguru.com/Las-Margaritas-Tulum-Tulum Nao Sushi https://tomato.mx/nao La Braceria https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g150813-d12580791-Reviews-La_Braceria_Tulum-Tulum_Yucatan_Peninsula.html?m=19905 Our stay in Isla Mujeres https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/21750598?source_impression_id=p3_1691185688_Iis36gOElK2pjlnT MMA gym in Isla Mujeres https://g.co/kgs/xYo5U6 Whale Shark Tour https://careydivecenter.com/ The best food in Isla Mujeres https://www.tacosdehumo.com/

    Fort Worth Culinary Adventure- Chicken Fried Steak Bang Bang

    In which Emily and Victor are food critiques! "Travel" isn't always far, expensive, or foreign. Often we get our kicks in local tourism. This week we had back-to-back dinners (AKA- bang bang!) to compare and contrast two very different chicken fried steak dinners at two different Fort Worth staples. Hoffbrau Steakhouse and Lucile's Stateside Bistro gave us a great evening together! I hope you laugh with us!
