April Blog Challenge 2014

I’m so psyched.. in all fairness it doesn’t take much to get me excited.. but still…. Words and Palabras will once again be participating in this years A-Z Blog Challenge! This year my blog number is #620 on the list! I can’t believe it’s been (almost) a whole year since I first stumbled across the challenge and commited myself to take part! This year I will definitely try to be more organized than last year…. would love to stay and blog but it’s time to start thinking about themes…

If you’ve never participated in a blog challenge then I definitely recommend the A-Z blog challenge! It’s super fun! You get to “meet” a ton of other bloggers during the month and it really inspires you to keep posting! Sign Up Here!

To all of you who follow me, and to those I follow, from last year’s blog challenge I look forward to reading your entries this year!

Let the Countdown Begin…..

 

C is for Cenote

A Cenote is a sinkhole which are characteristic of this area of Mexico. There are thousands of them, each and every one unique in its size and appearance. Some of the larger ones are tens of meters wide where as others you are only able to access via a small whole in the ground’s surface. As you make your way down into the sink hole it is impossible not to make a reference to a movie such as Journey to the Center of the Earth as that is really what it feels like.

One of the largest and most amazing cenotes that I have ever had the chance to experience is the cenote Ik kil located just outside the mayan ruins of Chichen Itza. The sheer width and depth of the cenote add to its charm and one of its unique features are the roots of the trees that you can see right in the middle that have grown towards the water. It really does have that WOW factor!

Cenote Ik Kil

Another awesome cenote experience is actually a tour called Rio Secreto however the difference here is that you actually travel underground through the caverns with a guide. I have never experienced anything like it, there are some parts completely dry and others where you have to swim through to continue on the journey. It is so quiet and tranquil that it really is like being in a different world!

Blogging from A-Z – My personal Challenge for April

So, as I wrote in my first post. I am determined that this is going to be the blog that works, the blog that I remember I have and remember to post in. Whilst randomly looking for an image on google I came across a blogging challenge..

Can you post every day except Sundays during this month?  And to up the bar, can you blog thematically from A to Z?

Could I? Can I? who knows.. but I’ve never been known to back down from a challenge! So, starting from this coming Monday (April 1st) I’ll be blogging on a daily basis and the themes will be in alphabetical order and of course all related to me and my Mexican Life…. Watch This Space!!! My blog is officially #1468 in the blog challenge!!
